Our Heat Pump Chiller Solutions

At Aircon Rentals, we provide a range of heat pump chiller systems for temporary commercial and industrial applications. Our heat pump chillers can provide either heating or cooling, making them suitable for HVAC requirements, process temperature control, planned maintenance, additional capacity and emergency equipment replacement.

Unlike conventional cooling-only chillers, a reversible heat pump chiller can switch between cooling and heating modes. In cooling mode, the system removes heat from a water or glycol circuit and rejects it to the surrounding air. In heating mode, the refrigeration cycle is reversed, transferring heat from the ambient air into the water circuit. This allows the same temporary system to support different heating and cooling requirements depending on the application.

Heat pump chiller rental can also provide an electrically powered alternative to conventional fuel-fired heating in suitable applications, helping reduce reliance on on-site fossil fuels. Actual efficiency and operating performance depend on factors such as required water temperatures, ambient conditions, system load and the application.

Our team can assess your required heating or cooling capacity, operating temperatures, flow rates, electrical supply, connection points and site conditions to recommend a suitable heat pump chiller for hire and the supporting equipment required for your project.

What Heat Pumps We Offer 

  • Air-to-Water Heat Pumps

Air-to-water heat pumps transfer heat between the outside air and a water or glycol circuit. Reversible systems can provide either heating or cooling, making them suitable for HVAC applications, process temperature control, temporary plant replacement and additional heating or cooling capacity.

These systems can provide an electrically powered alternative to conventional heating and cooling equipment, with achievable water temperatures and performance depending on the specific unit, ambient conditions and application.

  • Water-to-Water Heat Pumps

Water-to-water heat pumps transfer heat between two water circuits, using an available water source as the heat source or heat rejection medium. They can be particularly useful where a suitable water source is available and stable water temperatures can support efficient operation.

Depending on the equipment and system configuration, water-to-water heat pumps can provide heating, cooling or heat recovery for commercial and industrial applications. Higher-temperature models can also support applications requiring elevated hot-water temperatures.

  • Cascade Heat Pump Systems

Cascade heat pump systems combine multiple heat pump stages to achieve higher water temperatures than a standard single-stage heat pump may be able to provide efficiently.

Typically, the first heat pump raises the water to an intermediate temperature before a second-stage heat pump or booster increases it further. This configuration can be used for higher-temperature HVAC and process-heating requirements and can provide an alternative to conventional fuel-fired heating in suitable applications.

The required system configuration, achievable water temperature and heating or cooling capacity depend on the application, source temperatures and equipment selected.

FAQs

How do I know if a heat pump chiller is the right solution for my project?

A heat pump chiller can be a suitable solution when your project requires temporary heating and cooling from an electrically powered system, particularly where you want to reduce reliance on fossil fuel-based heating. It can support HVAC upgrades, seasonal peak loads, planned maintenance or unexpected equipment breakdowns. Getting a heat pump chiller on hire can provide reliable temperature control for manufacturing, healthcare, commercial buildings, events and other applications where temporary heating or cooling capacity is required.

Can a heat pump chiller provide heating and cooling at the same time?

No, a normal reversible heat pump chiller does not automatically provide simultaneous heating and cooling. Many units switch between heating mode and cooling mode. But not at the same time.

Some heat pump chiller systems can provide simultaneous heating and cooling, but this depends on the equipment configuration. Heat-recovery or multi-pipe systems can recover heat generated during the cooling process and use it to meet a heating demand elsewhere in the system. Standard reversible heat pump chillers typically operate in either heating or cooling mode.

What factors determine the right heat pump chiller size for my commercial or industrial site?

Correct sizing depends on the required heating or cooling load, operating temperatures, fluid flow rates, ambient conditions and how the system will be used. For process applications, factors such as required supply and return temperatures, process loads and operating schedules are particularly important. For comfort cooling or heating, building size, occupancy, insulation and internal heat loads may also need to be considered. Our team can assess the site and operating requirements to recommend a suitable heat pump chiller and supporting equipment.

What are heat pump chillers?

Heat pump chillers are versatile HVAC systems that can provide both heating and cooling. Unlike conventional chillers that are designed primarily for cooling, a reversible heat pump chiller can switch between heating and cooling modes depending on the application. The system transfers heat rather than generating it directly, providing efficient temperature control for commercial, industrial and process applications.

Why rent a heat pump chiller instead of buying one?

Renting a heat pump chiller can provide a cost-effective option when heating or cooling is required temporarily, avoiding the upfront capital investment associated with purchasing equipment. It also gives businesses the flexibility to match equipment capacity and hire duration to changing operational requirements.

Aircon Rentals offers short-term and long-term chiller hire with technical support, scheduled maintenance and 24/7 breakdown response. This makes heat pump chiller hire suitable for planned maintenance, equipment replacement, seasonal demand, temporary capacity increases and emergency requirements.

What sets a heat pump with a chiller apart from alternatives?

Efficient: Heat pump chillers transfer heat rather than generating heat directly through combustion. This can provide an energy-efficient solution for applications requiring heating and cooling, particularly when operating conditions are well suited to heat pump technology.

Reduced reliance on fossil fuels: Because heat pump chillers operate using electricity, they can reduce or replace the need for on-site fossil-fuel heating in suitable applications. The overall energy cost and emissions benefit will depend on the system design, operating conditions and electricity source.

Flexible: Reversible heat pump chillers can provide heating or cooling from the same system, making them useful for commercial, industrial and process applications where requirements change throughout the year.

How long does it take to deliver and install a heat pump chiller?

Delivery and installation time depends on unit availability, location, required capacity, site access and the complexity of the temporary installation. Factors such as positioning, lifting requirements, water or glycol connections, pumps, hoses, electrical supply and commissioning can all affect the timeframe.

For emergency requirements, Aircon Rentals can mobilise equipment quickly where suitable equipment and site conditions allow. For planned projects, assessing the site and connection requirements in advance can help reduce installation time and ensure the system is ready when required.
