AQUACIATPOWER TM LD/ILD Water chiller & heat pump e R-32 nviRonmentalResponsibility This performance is the result of the high-quality components used, which have all been rigorously selected: -R-32 refrigerant with high energy performance, -New generation of scroll compressors optimised for R-32 refrigerant -Asymmetrical brazed-plate heat exchanger with extremely low water-side pressure drops enabling a reduction in pump electricity consumption -Optional variable-speed pump enabling automatic adjustment of the rated water flow rate (disposal of the control valve), during operation and during unit shut down periods. Toconclude, the AQUACIATPOWER TMunit with R-32 refrigerant and variable-speed pump greatly reduces the indirect environmental impact compared to the previous generation R-410A. ■ EcoPassport® The PEP ecopassport®programme provides an international reference framework for procedures enabling manufacturers to communicate the environmental specifications of their products in the form of an eco-declaration, known as the Product Environmental Profile (PEP). ThePEP ecopassport® programme guarantees that PEPs are created, checked and communicated correctly according to the requirements of standard ISO 14025 and standard IEC/PAS 62545. The Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) PEP is the environmental identity card for an item of equipment which details the environmental impacts of the product during its life cycle according to eight mandatory indicators: 1. Global Warming Potential 2. Impact on the ozone layer 3. Acidification of soil and water 4. Eutrophication of water 5. Photochemical ozone creation 6. Abiotic resource depletion 7. Fresh water consumption 8. Total use of primary energy during the life cycle Products with certified environmental profiles are used to support methods to assess building sustainability such as BREEAM, LEED. BREEAM, LEED gives additional recognition for materials with robust environmental product declaration types using manufacturer data. CIAT is the first HVAC manufacturer to provide PEPs for liquid chillers and heat pumps with, not only the 8 mandatory indicators, but all 27 indicators.
