Vaillant begins UK heat pump production
Vaillant UK has added a heat pump production line at its headquarters in Belper, Derbyshire.
The new line, dedicated to production of Vaillant’s AroThern plus R290 air-to-water heat pump, will run alongside its existing gas boiler production lines.
Vaillant is supporting the need for training and upskilling on heat pump technology with a range of vocational courses including product training and CPD courses that can be carried out online and in one of the company’s six centres of excellence and other partner training locations across the UK.
The AroThern plus was introduced by the German boiler manufacturer in 2020. It is said to be capable of operating down to -25°C and achieving higher flow temperatures of up to 75ºC. With sound power as low as 54dB(A), the AroTherm plus is produced in outputs of 3.5, 5, 7 and 12kW. SCOP is up to 5.03.
