Hybrid Retrofit Electrification Upgrade for Dock 5 Apartment Tower

Features of this all-outdoor hybrid heating system include:

• 6 x Revere CHE-015 R290 natural refrigerant heat pumps – provide the large majority of heating, able to heat water to 75°C
• 2 x Meridian City 90 kW condensing water heaters – for built-in redundancy as required
• Control Box – to enable the heat pumps and stage them accordingly

When you combine electric heat pumps with gas solutions such as the Meridian City, the benefits are substantial. With net efficiencies exceeding 105% at 50/30°C return temperatures, the Meridian City utilises premium condensing technology in a compact, wall-hung design for optimum output without using critical floor space.

Hybrid heating systems provide many benefits, including energy-efficient, low-emissions heating, reliability and cost savings.

The biggest benefit is reliability through redundancy. By sharing the load across multiple heat pumps and water heaters, heating continues even while a unit is being serviced or is out of action. For buildings seeking a future-proof, sustainable first step towards complete electrification, a hybrid heating and hot water solution helps to lower emissions while still meeting peak demand.
