(Heat) pumped for play: Children keep cosy in local nursery

Young children need a warm, healthy environment. At a nursery in Langförden, north-west Germany, this is provided by two air to water heat pumps. The nursery staff particularly appreciate the minimal noise of the heat pumps, which is thanks to innovative fan blade design reminiscent of an owl’s wing. 

The heat pumps, with two heat exchangers, gain 3 to 5% additional energy from the cooling circuit, resulting in impressive performance figures and high levels of energy efficiency. The heat pump cascade operates in an energy-efficient temperature range, allowing for a reduction in room temperature without compromising comfort. 

What’s more, the nursery building also has photovoltaic panels which contribute significantly to the electricity needed for the heat pumps. This sustainable heating solution ensures optimal comfort for the daycare centre children and staff while minimising energy costs and environmental impact.
