Greensource air to water heat pumps from Worcester
Worcester introduce of new collection of Greensource air to water heat pumps, offering homeowners an alternative option for 'greener' home heating with minimal CO2 emissions.
The new boilers offer a modulating circulating pump which automatically increases or decreases its speed and electrical consumption to suit the system demand, ie when TVRs open and close.
They also condense fully in both the central heating and hot water modes.
Installer friendly, the boilers come with wall mounting frames, which means all the pipework can be routed behind the appliance.

The future for gas boilers efficiency
How are manufacturers achieving such high levels of efficiency and will it ever be possible to create a gas boiler that's 100% efficient?.
Combination boilers for larger properties
Martyn Bridges from Worcester, Bosch Group, takes a closer look at the NHBC's current regulations relating to the installation of combination boilers for larger properties.
Plus the physical dimensions are smaller (760mm x 440mm x 360mm), the weight lighter and all the new boilers have the new look Worcester Bosch skin design developed in response to consumers wishes for a good looking boiler that doesn't need to be integrated and to bring differentiation to the Worcester Bosch brand.
Available from April, the range offers:.
* 25CDi suitable for a small/medium sized 1 bath property offering a flow rate of 10.5 l/min and an output to central heating of 7.7-25kW.
* 30CDi suitable for a small/medium sized 1 bath property offering a flow rate of 12.6 l/m and an output to central heating of 7.7-30kW.
* 35CDi suitable for a medium/large sized house offering a flow rate of 14.3 l/min and an output to central heating of 7.7-30kW.
* 40CDi, suitable for a medium/large sized bath property with ensuite shower offering a flow rate of 16.3 l/min and an output to central heating of 7.7-30kW.
All the Greenstar CDi models use the same aluminium-silicon heat cell - the WB5 - which has an extra large surface area.
As flue gases pass through the heat exchanger this larger surface area cools the flue gases to around 55 degrees centigrade where the latent heat, which would normally be dispersed into the atmosphere, is applied to the system.
This allows the boiler to extract as much heat as possible from the gas it burns.
Non-condensing boilers achieve around 80% efficiency, which means the new range of six boilers offer consumers a 15-20% saving on heating and hot water bills.
This energy-saving performance is achieved by recycling exhaust gases to extract and release latent heat, significantly reducing CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
All CDi models are compatible with six optional Worcester Bosch plug-in controls, which eliminate the need for external wiring and will meet the requirements of Part P and Part L.
