High-temperature heat pumps

Access to this standard has been sponsored by the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA), who have identified the importance of giving non-technical audiences (such as schools and hospitals), technical process heat audiences, and the public access to a PDF copy of the publicly available specification (PAS) online at no charge.

SNZ PAS 5210:2024 High-temperature heat pumps(external link)

The objective of this publicly available specification (PAS) is to provide good practice advice and information to support the adoption of energy-efficient heat pump systems for domestic, commercial, and industrial applications. This PAS is limited to the most common systems available, which are those that utilise a closed mechanical vapour compression cycle using electricity.

SNZ PAS 5210:2024 supersedes SNZ PAS 5210:2021(external link). The 2021 version of this publicly available specification (PAS) was focused on high-temperature heat pumps used to provide reticulated hot water for heating in institutional settings – for example, radiators in schools or office buildings. The revision extends the applications to domestic hotwater heaters, commercial users of hot water, and process heating (water, air, or other substances) in industry. The field of high-temperature heat pumps is an area of active research and innovation, so the PAS has been updated with the latest information.
