The Gold award in the HVAC Commercial Equipment category goes to the NYK modular air-to-water heat pump from Aermec. The 25-ton NYK heat pump provides water as hot as 149°F using vapor injection compressors, with operation between -4°F and 107°F ambient air temperature. This heat pump provides both heating and cooling and is able to provide 40% heat recovery in cooling mode. When using the NYK, backup heat will likely not be required in many regions to meet heating design temperature and domestic hot water requirements.
“Industry professionals across North America have been consistently requesting a flexible heat pump system that provides efficient heating, cooling, and domestic hot water without using fossil fuels,” said Jim Chaters, North American sales manager at Mits Airconditioning, the master representative for Aermec. “With that objective in mind, Aermec has expanded the product line and developed the NYK, which is a revolutionary solution that fulfills those precise requirements. It is an all-in-one solution.”
