Commercial Heat Pumps

Ground Source Heat Pumps - Because of the ground's high thermal mass, it stores heat from the sun during the summer. Ground source heat pumps transfer this heat from the ground into a building to provide space heating and, in some cases, pre-heating domestic hot water.

Air Source Heat Pumps - Due to developments in compressor technology it is possible to extract heat from the atmosphere at temperatures as low as –15 °C and supply both low temperature under floor heating and domestic hot water at 65 °C.

Air Source or Ground Source?

Air source heat pumps are best suited to low temperature under floor heating of thermally efficient buildings and can be combined with domestic hot water heating. The main advantage of an air source heat pump over ground source is that it does not require and ground work and they are simple to install.

MGS has experience of designing installing and commissioning heat pumps and combined technology systems in a wide range of new build housing and industrial projects.

About for Air Source:

You can install an air source heat pump in a loft or on the balcony of an apartment.

Air source Heat pumps cool the surrounding air and have been installed in restaurant kitchens reducing the temperature in the kitchen and providing heat to other areas of the building. We have a range of air source heat pumps buffer tanks and control system up to 29 kW. The main components are:
Air Source Heat Pump

  • Evaporator - takes the heat from the atmosphere.

  • Compressor -moves the refrigerant round the heat pump and compresses the gaseous refrigerant to the temperature needed for the heat distribution circuit.

  • Condenser  - gives up heat to a hot water tank, which feeds the distribution system.

  • Heat distribution system - consists of under floor heating and in some cases water storage for hot water supply. We will normally not provide a heat pump to supply radiators.

About Ground Source:

Ground source heat pumps are best suited to low temperature under floor heating of thermally efficient buildings. The main components are:

  • Ground loop - comprises lengths of pipe buried in the ground, in a borehole a horizontal trench or laid on the bed of a river, pond lake or canal.

  • The pipe is usually a closed circuit and is filled with a mixture of water and antifreeze, which is pumped round the pipe absorbing heat from the ground or water.

  • Evaporator - takes the heat from the closed circuit.

  • Condenser  - gives up heat to a hot water tank, which feeds the distribution system.
