HEATING SOLUTIONS
BY OPTING FOR GRANT’S AFINIA ALUMINIUM RADIATORS, UFLEX UNDERFLOOR HEATING SYSTEM OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH, INSTALLERS CAN MAXIMISE EFFICIENCY AND COMFORT… Seamless integration with the Grant Aerona R290 heat pump
As the construction industry continues its shift towards sustainable heating solutions, the integration of air-source heat pumps in new builds and retrofits is becoming increasingly prevalent. Grant’s latest offering, the Grant Aerona R290 air-source heat pump, exemplifies this, by combining high efficiency with environmentally friendly credentials. For builders and developers, selecting the appropriate heat emitters to pair with this system is crucial to ensure optimal performance and comfort for occupants of a property. Grant’s next-generation heat pump, the Aerona R290, utilises natural refrigerant R290 which has a low Global Warming Potential of 3. Designed in Ireland, the system operates efficiently at lower flow temperatures, typically between 35°C and 55°C, making it ideal for low- temperature heating applications. The Aerona R290’s inverter-driven technology allows for modulated output, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing operational costs for homeowners. To ensure optimum efficiency, air- source heat pumps such as the Aerona R290 operate most efficiently with heat emitters designed for low-temperature

systems. Traditional radiators, sized for higher temperature outputs from conventional boilers, may not provide adequate heating when paired with air- source heat pumps unless appropriately resized or replaced. Grant’s product portfolio ensures that those building new properties have a comprehensive selection of heat emitters to choose from which pair seamlessly with the Grant Aerona R290 heat pump. Specifically engineered for systems operating at lower flow temperatures, low temperature radiators such as Grant’s Afinia range have been designed to facilitate highly efficient heat transfer. Manufactured using aluminium, the Afinia radiator range is an excellent conductor of heat and responds quickly to temperature changes. Its lightweight design and high thermal conductivity make it suitable for low-temperature heating systems such as the Aerona R290 heat pump, ensuring rapid room heating and energy efficiency. Underfloor heating systems are also inherently compatible with low- temperature heat sources. Grant’s Uflex underfloor heating system distributes heat evenly across floor surfaces, providing consistent warmth and improved energy efficiency. When paired with the Aerona R290 heat pump,
Grant’s underfloor heating system can significantly enhance home comfort while maintaining low operational costs. When integrating the Aerona R290 into a heating system, it’s essential to consider the size and specification of the selected heat emitters. Radiators may need to be sized larger than those used with traditional boilers to compensate for the lower water temperatures. For builders and developers incorporating the Grant Aerona R290 heat pump into their projects, selecting compatible heat emitters is very important. By opting for aluminium radiators, underfloor heating systems or a combination of both and ensuring proper sizing and specification, this can maximise the efficiency and comfort provided by this advanced heating solution. Embracing these considerations can help meet current building compliance standards and cater for the growing demand for future-ready sustainable and energy-efficient homes.
