The Grant Aerona³ R32 is a DC inverter-driven monobloc heat pump, engineered for straightforward installation and high seasonal efficiency. The primary 6kW model (HPID6R32) achieves an ErP rating of A+++ at a 35°C flow temperature and A++ at 55°C, supported by a SCOP of 4.61. With a compact outdoor unit measuring 675mm in height, 825mm in width, and 300mm in depth, it is suitable for installations where external space is limited.
Hydraulic integration requires a minimum pipe size of 22mm and the installation of a volumiser tank for all systems, unless a buffer or thermal store is utilized. The unit operates with a maximum pressure of 3 bar and requires a minimum water flow rate of 5 litres per minute. The system maintains functionality in extreme conditions down to -20°C outdoors and provides a maximum flow temperature of 60°C, making it compatible with both underfloor heating and correctly sized radiator circuits.
For electrical setup, the 6kW variant requires a 230V single-phase supply protected by a 16A MCB. Control compatibility is extensive, including the Grant EP001 wiring centre, EP002 interface relay box, and the NeoStat or Edge series. These controls enable weather compensation, which is vital for optimizing the unit's performance across varying seasonal loads.
The Aerona³ utilizes a reverse cycle defrost method and features a quiet mode to manage its 65.2 dB(A) sound power level. Maintenance is mandatory every 12 months to maintain the extended 3-year warranty, which covers parts and labour if the unit is registered within 30 days of installation. Annual service steps include checking the evaporator fins, testing antifreeze concentrations, and cleaning the magnetic filter.
For engineers, the Aerona³ provides detailed diagnostic feedback via the remote controller. Common issues such as the A0 DC voltage error or the P1 pump error require specific checks of the Main PCB, fuses, and water circuit integrity. The use of R32 refrigerant, with a charge of 0.8kg in the 6kW model, ensures compliance with modern environmental standards while delivering a high COP of 4.91 at A7/W35. This combination of technical reliability and efficiency makes the Aerona³ a standard choice for UK domestic decarbonisation projects.
