Amicus Altus 112 for commercial applications
UK – Lochinvar has added the modular Amicus Altus 112 to its range of air-to-water heat pumps for large-scale commercial heating, cooling and hot water applications.
With outputs from 112kW-1120kW per cascade, and capable of achieving water flow temperatures of up to 75°C, the Amicus Altus 112 is aimed at applications such as healthcare facilities, sports and leisure centres, hotels and renovation projects. Its modular design allows systems to be precisely sized to meet project requirements, whether for new-build or retrofit installations.
Sustainable solution for decarbonising heat
The Amicus Altus 112 uses R290 (propane), a natural refrigerant with a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3. This makes it a sustainable solution for decarbonising heat without compromising on performance or operating temperatures.
As a fully electric system, the Amicus Altus 112 produces zero on-site emissions. When combined with renewable electricity or photovoltaic systems, it enables completely carbon-free operation, supporting long-term sustainability and net-zero objectives.
Designed for flexibility and performance
Lochinvar says that the Amicus Altus 112 has been engineered to integrate with the existing Amicus Altus 88kW R290 unit, allowing mixed cascades and increased system flexibility. Up to 10 units can be connected in cascade, delivering a total output of up to 1120 kW, while maintaining a compact footprint and requiring only a 2-metre exclusion zone around each unit.
Available in 2-pipe or 4-pipe configurations, the system includes flow and return header arrangements and a primary pump per unit, simplifying installation and system design.
