Yutaki Series 2 air-to-water heat pumps on R32

FRANCE: To expand its existing range of R32 air-to-water heat pumps, Johnson Controls Hitachi Air Conditioning has launched its new Yutaki Series 2. 

Manufactured 100% in Europe, the new range includes the Yutaki S air-to-water split heat pump and Yutaki SCombi air-to-water high temperature split heat pump and combi tank in capacities ranging from 3.5kW to 8kW. Also to be included is the Yutaki M monobloc in capacities from 4.3kW to 8kW, which will be available next year.

The special small-capacity 3.5kW model is said to be ideal for new builds and, along with the other models in the range, features the new outdoor design in bright white with a black grille. 

The Yutaki Series 2 delivers a COP of 5.1 and a SCOP of 4.46/3.2 for the 3.5kW models, along with sound pressure levels of 30dB(A) at 5m. A night mode guarantees optimum acoustic comfort. 

They boast high energy efficiency and can provide a maximum water outlet temperature of 60°C, even at outdoor temperatures as low as -5°C. 

Yutaki air-to-water heat pumps can be operated via CSNET Home App, a new IoT solution designed to ensure the best experience of remote control of Yutaki air-to-water heat pumps for both end-users, technical specialists and installers. 

This system includes a new wi-fi gateway, as an option, and a new application for a smartphone, a laptop or a tablet. 

CSNET Home allows end-users to monitor and control Hitachi air-to-water heat pumps, offering some additional features such as power consumption monitoring. At the same time, with CSNET Home PRO, it enables service people and technicians to monitor system operations, carry out maintenance and remotely set up parameters such as water control settings.
