Robur launches Gitié range of trivalent gas-powered packaged chillers and heat pumps

Cost-effective alternative to installation of a boiler with solar panels


Robur has launched its new range of trivalent gas-powered packaged chillers and heat pumps.

The Gitié range has three models, with two, four or six-pipe configurations for cooling, heating and domestic hot water (DHW).

The units serve a wide range of applications. For example: cooling where there is a shortage of electrical power; or heating at efficiencies which save up to 40% against a condensing boiler and help with Part L compliance; or cooling and heating with the production of DHW.

Individual models offer 17 to 76kW of output but can be blocked into larger systems, providing a modular solution. This has the advantage of increased capacity steps and duty sharing. All systems are for external installation, can run on mains or LP Gas, and use a non-HFC ammonia solution refrigerant for BREEAM credits.

ESS has been promoting gas heat pumps since 2003, and is the leading UK distributor of this technology. Its managing director, Kevin Pacey, said: “The Gitié range represents a cost-competitive alternative to an installation of a boiler with solar panels. It uses air as a renewable energy source, so is cost effective to run, with seasonal average efficiency reaching 158%, giving up to 40% savings on operating costs compared to alternative solutions.”
