Daikin Launches ALTHERMA 3 H HT High-Temp, Air-to-Water Heat Pump For Boiler, Furnace Replacement
The Daikin ALTHERMA 3 H HT high-temperature, air-to-water heat pump system provides a versatile, 3-in-1 plumb-and-play solution that can provide heating, cooling, and optional hot water, even in low-ambient temperatures. That adaptability makes it an excellent choice for replacing fossil fuel equipment, like boilers, furnaces, and gas domestic hot water (optional).
The compressor, developed by Japan’s Daikin Technology and Innovation Center and Daikin Europe, can deliver high-leaving water temperatures as high as 158° F. It utilizes low-GWP R-32 refrigerant that releases fewer CO2 emissions than R-410A.
Flexible system combinations can allow for easy integration for boiler, gas furnace, and optional gas domestic hot water replacement. Once the Daikin ALTHERMA 3 H HT outdoor unit is connected to the indoor unit (hydro box), the system can connect to emitters already in the home, like baseboards or radiators, integrate with Daikin’s heat pump convectors, or pair with hydronic air handlers and in-floor radiant loops.
Engineered for extreme climate applications, the Daikin ALTHERMA 3 H HT can operate down to -18° F while still delivering space heating and optional domestic hot water. It can provide cooling even when outdoor temperatures reach 109° F.
Operating quietly down to 41 dBA, the Daikin ALTHERMA 3 H HT features A LOW sound mode setting that silences sound pressures further, down to 35 dBA.
One large fan enhances air circulation and helps lower operational noise.
Though quiet and compact, the heat pumps deliver strong energy efficiencies by leveraging Daikin’s proven inverter technology and R-32’s thermodynamic properties. Inverter-driven compressors and fan motors – plus advanced micro-processor controls – are designed to deliver constant comfort and high-efficiency performance.
