Swedish heat pump manufacturer Qvantum has officially introduced its UK business Qvantum United Kingdom.
It invited guests to a launch event new headquarters in Moorgate, London, where products including exhaust air heat pumps, water-to-water and air source heat pump systems were showcased, together with integrated thermal stores.
Qvantum explained its ambition to heat the cities of Europe using affordable renewable technology, alongside a commitment to electricity grid balancing.
Qvantum UK CEO Phil Ord said: “We believe our unique heat pump solutions genuinely bring something new to the UK and can provide the impetus to redirect the way we consume energy to service the needs of the domestic heating and hot water market.
“A big part of the challenge is to harvest and store renewable energy when it is plentiful, often in excess of what we actually need, and use it when demand increases above the generating capacity of the grid. Qvantum is here to help shift that peak.’’
Guests at the launch were able to explore the products following presentations from Phil Ord and Qvantum UK colleagues Darren Manley and Geoff Turton. Further background was provided by Thomas Nowak, former secretary general of the European Heat Pump Association, who is now Qvantum’s VP of government relations and public affairs.
