Customized solution and high efficiency
The 1.2MW electrical air-to-water integrated heat pump system, which will be located in Saltum in Northern Jutland, will use outdoor air as the source for heat production. When finished, the system will supply sustainable heating to the district heating plant's 370 customers.
