FPi32 Air Source Heat Pumps
The Adveco FPi32 range of 6 kW, 9kW & 13kW Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) delivers an easy-to-install method for commercial sites to achieve lower cost water heating or cooling.
Introduced in partnership with Cosmogas, boasting more than 50 years of experience in commercial heating production, the FPi32 range consists of two variants, the FPi32-9 and FPi32-13, providing excellent levels of performance, especially throughout the UK’s relatively mild winters. With sleek looks and quiet operation, the compact monobloc design is capable of providing domestic hot water (DHW) at up to 55°C, or cool water to -7°C for use in fan coils.
Because ASHPs, such as the FPi32, absorb heat from the air, the technology is an excellent method for reducing carbon emissions across a commercial site.
So long as the outside air temperature is above -25°C heat can be drawn out of the surrounding air to be transferred to a building’s heating circuit. The UK’s relatively mild winter temperatures help ensure a properly installed FPi32 ASHP system can achieve excellent levels of efficiency and performance throughout the year.

Ideal Applications
The FPi32 range of commercial Air Source Heat Pumps (ASHP) for heating, cooling and the provision of preheat in domestic hot water applications. FPi32 can be supplied as a part of a bespoke hybrid, or all-electric system, as well as an element of a prefabricated plant room system, delivered to your location ready for rapid installation and commissioning.
Coefficient Of Performance (COP)
A commercial property’s energy consumption is a key factor to consider when choosing system equipment. For an ASHP the “efficiency” is calculated as the ratio between the electricity invested in order to run the ASHP and heat transferred from the evaporator to the condenser. This is known as the coefficient of performance (COP).
The FPi32 range offers an above average system COP of as much as 4.03 for the 9kW and 3.89 for the 13kW variant.
This COP can also be influenced by other factors including the energy needs and energy efficiency of a property, as well as the quality of hot water and heating system installation and set up.
Due to instantaneous ASHP performance varying with external temperature and heating flow temperature minimum and maximum COP provide an indication of seasonal variation, which ranges from 1.5 to a very high 4.7.

This is known as the coefficient of performance (COP).
The FPi32 range offers an above-average system COP of as much as 5.23 for the 6kW, 5.16 for the 9kW, and 4.94 for the 12kW variant. This COP can also be influenced by other factors including the energy needs and energy efficiency of a property, as well as the quality of hot water and heating system installation and set up.
Due to instantaneous ASHP performance varying with external temperature and heating flow temperature, seasonal COP provides a better overall gauge of an ASHP’s efficiency. The seasonal COP of the FPi32 is above average and ranges from 4.71 (12kW) to 4.74
(6kW).
