Carrier Aquasnap R290 gains Quiet Mark

UK: Carrier’s recently launched AquaSnap 30AWH-P monobloc air-to-water heat pump has achieved Quiet Mark certification.

Quiet Mark is the independent global certification programme associated with the UK Noise Abatement Society charitable foundation, recognising best-in-class acoustic design across multiple industries. Only 10-20% of the quietest products in each category receive the certification.

The AquaSnap 30AWH-P was launched in the UK at the beginning of the year. It uses R290 refrigerant and is available in outputs from 4 to 14kW.

From a distance of 5m, the 30AWH-P is said to boast a sound pressure level starting at just 24dB for the smallest unit. Carrier Solutions attributes this to the acoustic insulation around the hydraulic and refrigerant modules.
