8kW Logic Air

Engineer's overview

The Ideal LOGIC AIR MONOBLOC HEAT PUMP SYSTEM is an inverter-driven air source monobloc heat pump, designed for UK domestic heating and hot water applications. Introduced in 2025, the Logic Air range includes 4kW, 5kW, 8kW, and 10kW variants, all utilising R32 refrigerant, which has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 675 and is classified as A2L.

The system is engineered for efficiency, with a Coefficient of Performance (COP) of 5.34 at A7W35 (7°C ambient, 35°C flow temperature) and a Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) of 4.96 at 35°C. For higher temperature systems, the SCOP at 55°C is 3.48, with a maximum flow temperature of 60°C. Operation is maintained down to an outdoor ambient temperature of -20°C.

Physical dimensions for the 4kW and 5kW outdoor units are 980mm height, 1175mm width, and 600mm depth, with an unpackaged weight of 86kg. The 8kW and 10kW units are larger, measuring 1190mm in height and weighing 110kg. Sound emissions are managed, with the 4kW and 5kW models producing a sound power level of 52 dB(A) and a sound pressure level of 44 dB(A) at 1 metre. A quiet mode is available.

Electrically, the system operates on a 230V, 50Hz single-phase supply, requiring a 16A MCB for the 4kW and 5kW models, and a 25A MCB for the 8kW and 10kW models. The 4kW model has a maximum power consumption of 1.84 kW. Hydronic requirements include a minimum water flow rate of 8.5 litres per minute for the smaller units and 14.5 litres per minute for the larger units, with a minimum pipe size of 22mm or 28mm respectively. A buffer tank and volumiser are both specified as required components for installation.

Control options include Ideal's Halo Air Wi-Fi/RF or compatible 3rd party PRT systems, with integrated weather compensation functionality. Standard warranty coverage is 1 year, with registration required. Annual servicing is recommended every 12 months, encompassing detailed checks of the monobloc unit, controller, and domestic hot water cylinder. F-Gas certification is required for engineers handling this appliance.
