Q-ton Air to Water Heat Pump

Q-ton is a high-efficiency air-to-water CO₂ heat pump that delivers 60°C to 90°C sanitary-grade hot water for commercial applications and underfloor heating. Engineered for reliability in extreme conditions, Q-ton performs in ambient temperatures as low as −25°C, making it ideal for aged care facilities, hospitals, hotels, gyms, breweries, wineries, and food processing plants.

By using CO₂ as a natural refrigerant and advanced Japanese-engineered components, Q-ton delivers exceptional energy efficiency – helping businesses cut energy use and operating costs while reducing emissions and improving sustainability.


POWER: Three Phase | HEATING CAPACITY: 30.0kW

Key features

  • Delivers 60-90°C hot water in temperatures as low as -25°C
  • Highly energy efficient offering reductions in running costs
  • Up to 76% less emissions than gas boilers & up to 74% less emissions that electric heaters
  • Easy to use touch screen control with advanced functions
  • High quality, Japanese engineered technology and components
  • Anti-Legionella sanitary cycle to eliminate bacteria
Up To 6 Times More Energy Efficient

Q-ton’s advanced compressor technology delivers exceptional efficiency – producing up to 4.3kW of heat for every 1kW of energy consumed. For comparison; electric heaters typically only deliver around 1kW of heat per 1kW of energy, while gas boilers average 0.8 kW. This makes Q-ton air to water heat pump up to six times more efficient than gas boilers and five times more efficient than electric heaters.

This level of performance delivers a dramatic reduction in energy use and operating costs usually resulting in tens of thousands of dollars in annual savings, a short payback period, and a strong long-term return on investment.

Up to 76% Less Emissions Than Traditional Systems

The Q-ton air to water heat pump produces 76% less emissions than gas boilers and 74% less emissions than electric water heaters*, offering businesses a long-term solution to reducing their carbon footprint and environmental impact.

*Intermediate season: Air on at 16°C, Water on at 17°C, Water off at 65°C.

1. Performance of operation to top up during intermediate season shows the capacity measured under the conditions that outdoor temp is 16°C DB/12°C WB, water inlet temp is 17°C and how water outlet temp is 65°C.
51
2. Performance of operation to top up in cold region shows the capacity measured under the conditions that outdoor air temperature is -7°C DB/-8°C WB, water inlet temperature is 5°C and hot water outlet temperature is 90°C excluding heater for anti-freezing water (191W).
52
3. Operating sound shows a value is measured at 1m in front of the unit and 1m above the floor in an echoic room where the sound is slightly resonated. Accordingly, if the unit is installed on an actual site, it is normal that the measured sound levels may be higher than the value shown above, due to surrounding noise and echo within the room.
53
4. Pipe size 20A=DN20=20mm=3/4in.
54
5. The actual hot water outlet temp may vary ±3°C from target temp according to the change of outdoor air temp and water inlet temp. If feed water inlet temp is 30°C of high and outdoor air temp is 25°C or higher the water temp may be controlled to ensure temp does not increase too much.
55
6. Ensure clean water is used. Water quality should follow the standard which MTH specifies. If the water quality if not up to standard it may cause issues within the unit such as scale build-up and/or corrosion.
56
7. These articles mentioned above may vary without notice accordingly to development status.

8. Electrical installation work must be performed by an electrical installation service provider qualified by a power provider of the country. Electrical installation work must be executed according to the technical standards and other regulations applicable to the electrical installations in the country.
