GHP Solutions
Yanmar is dedicated to providing sustainable solutions essential for human life, focusing on food production and energy harnessing. With over a century of history, Yanmar has expanded globally, emphasizing efficiency and environmental responsibility. Their energy systems, including VRF, CHP, and power generation, are designed for integration and efficiency.
Founded in 1912, Yanmar developed the world's first small diesel engine and has since introduced innovations like the Gas Heat Pump (GHP) in 1987 and the world's first Gas Heat Pump Chiller in 2013.
GHPs offer high-efficiency heating and cooling using natural gas, reducing CO2 emissions and electricity usage. They are a cost-effective alternative to electric heat pumps, especially where electric infrastructure is limited.
- Capital Cost Savings: GHPs consume 90% less electricity than electric condensers, reducing infrastructure costs.
- Efficiency: Up to 50% lower running costs compared to electric systems, depending on local tariffs.
- Environmental Impact: GHPs are less greenhouse gas-intensive due to the inefficiency of electricity generation.
- Peak Demand Reduction: Helps avoid peak demand charges and stabilize the grid.
- Engine Heat Recovery: Utilizes engine heat to improve heating performance and avoid defrost cycles.
- Lifecycle Costs: Despite higher initial costs, GHPs offer lower lifecycle costs due to reduced operating expenses.
GHPs demonstrate lower primary energy consumption compared to electric heat pumps and gas boilers, offering significant energy savings in cooling and heating applications.
Yanmar provides Gas Heat Pump (GHP) systems suitable for various building types, offering optimal heating and cooling solutions. These systems are available in air-to-water and air-to-air configurations, each with specific features to meet different climate needs.
- Air-to-Water Systems: Utilize a heat exchanger to transfer thermal energy from the GHP refrigerant to the building's water pipes. Configurations include GHP Chiller and GHP with Hydrobox, both available with optional Domestic Hot Water (DHW) kits.
- Air-to-Air Systems: Use Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) for heating and cooling. Configurations include GHP VRF heating & cooling system, GHP VRF heat recovery system, and GHP with direct expansion kit. Except for the heat recovery system, all configurations offer optional DHW kits.
- Hotel Alcide, Italy: Installation of GHP Chiller with DHW kit resulted in a 60% reduction in energy consumption.
- BVB Fanwelt, Germany: New building equipped with GHPs and Hydroboxes, providing energy-efficient heating and cooling.
- Sparkasse Lippstadt, Germany: GHPs installed to climatize office buildings, complying with environmental regulations.
- Cross Group, Ireland: GHP VRF system installed, leading to energy cost savings and a payback period within three years.
- Grieshaber, Germany: Extensive GHP project for a pharmaceutical logistics complex, resulting in low maintenance and operating costs.
Yanmar offers a range of main and indoor units designed for energy efficiency and optimal climate control. The GHP Chiller solution provides both chilled and hot water directly from the unit, with low electrical power consumption and no cooling tower maintenance.
The ECWP710J model offers a cooling capacity of 71.0 kW and a heating capacity of 80.0 kW. It features a compact design, low noise levels, and uses natural gas as the primary energy source. The system includes advanced features like hot water recovery and a high-efficiency heat exchanger.

Capital Cost Savings Reduced electric infrastructure A Gas Heat Pump unit operates on single phase power and significantly reduces electrical infrastructure and associates costs. Electrical infrastructure often requires floor space; reducing the size of electrical infrastructure often expands the floor area available to the developer and increases the commercial value of the building. A Gas Heat Pump unit consumes around 90% less electricity than a similar electric condenser. Therefore, where power to the site is limited and upgrade costs are prohibitive, Gas Heat Pump systems provide a solution...

Peak demand Reduced peak demand charges Gas Heat Pump systems help to avoid peak demand charges, thereby reducing operating costs. Flattening their demand profile in this way can also help customers to negotiate a more comparative tariff structure from their electricity supplier. The demand for air conditioning in Europe is growing at a rapid rate and is expected to continue growing over the coming years. This growth is creating a substantial rise in the demand for power to run air conditioning. 100% Electric Electric Penalty Actual Electric Cooling versus Base Cooling versus Base Load using...
