Hot water specialist Adveco has announced a new manufacturing partnership with Midea Cooling & Heating (UK & Ireland) to provide commercial air source heat pumps (ASHP), after-sales technical support, maintenance and service for commercial water heating applications.

The partnership further strengthens Midea’s presence across the UK in the more complex commercial water heating space. Adveco will distribute 16-30 kW, three-phase Midea monobloc R32 heat pumps as part of its award-winning engineering design and system supply for water heating in new and refurbished commercial properties.

For the past five years, Adveco has been committed to the intensive development of applications which maximise the possibilities of heat pump technology for domestic hot water (DHW) in commercial environments. The complex and very specific demands of DHW for commercial buildings have highlighted the need for a hybrid approach that derives the maximum efficiency from the technology as a source of pre-heat, reducing carbon emissions, giving customers best value from capital investments and optimising future operational costs.

The partnership commences with the immediate launch of the ADV16W, ADV22W and ADV30W models, the range offers a complete, energy-efficient means to deliver domestic hot water year-round to the widest range of commercial spaces.

Responding to this new partnership, Steve Robinson, Director, Midea Cooling & Heating (UK & Ireland) commented,

“Addressing reduction of carbon emissions from commercial and public sector buildings remains a key challenge in the UK. By partnering with Midea, Adveco is positioned to further drive innovation in low carbon water heating, leveraging our expertise in renewable technologies and leading range of heat pumps. We look forward to a long and successful partnership that contributes towards the UK’s net zero goal.”

Greg Brushett, Sales Director, Adveco said,

“Midea is the perfect partner for developing commercial hot water applications with heat pumps. Its excellent range of R32 monobloc heat pumps meets all the technical criteria we require to fulfil often complex specifications. Our expertise in water heating design is then perfectly complemented by Midea’s superior post-sale technical knowledge, service and maintenance functions. This means we can develop and supply the very best low-carbon hot water systems with assured longevity to carry building operations to 2050 and beyond.”
