Said to be suitable for comfort heating and cooling applications, the new models are described as a good replacement for gas boilers in older light commercial buildings.

The models will include inverter technology on both the compressor and fan and are said to have been optimised for low noise emissions in every condition.

The iMex-N will operate down to -20°C ambients, providing 75°C hot water at 0°C outdoor air temperature, the company says.
