INTRODUCTION
Technical solutions involving heat pumps or related systems are extremely diverse, and are still evolving. However, these techniques have already proved their worth, as evidenced by the growth in PAC sales in recent years.
They open up a wide range of possibilities, which we have set out to illustrate. They can be added to existing installations to improve their performance. They can also replace existing heating systems. But it's in new installations that they can be best integrated to deliver the greatest savings in energy and consumption costs.
With the promotion of rational energy use, the development of the use of renewable energies, the reduction of CO 2 emissions, the CAP has a real future.
