Vilter VQ95 single-stage NH3 heat pump

USA: Copeland’s new Vilter VQ95 single-stage ammonia heat pump is designed for district heating and industrial process heating applications.

The VQ95 is a complete single-stage, closed loop NH3 system available in two compact footprints supporting more than 2,000 standard configurations.

With a 1MW to 5MW heating capacity per skid, its modularity enables systems to be scaled with parallel or serial pipe connections, allowing it to scale in capacity as needed. Additionally, the Vilter VQ95 provides a high standard temperature rating of up to 95ºC with high lift capability in a single-stage system.

It is said to have been designed to be intuitive and user-friendly to operate and maintain. Its plug-and-play, modular design has fewer moving parts than multi-stage units and can often be serviced without removing the compressor from the system, Copeland says.

Copeland claims a COP up to 6.77 and high lift capabilities.
