New South Wales-based Next Cycle has launched as a supplier of heating, cooling, hot water and chilled water solutions in Australia.
The company says it is working with several European brands including Maxa, Imas Group, Barberi and Aquatechnik to bring their products to the country.
Next Cycle general manager Mathew Harrison says these can have applications across residential, commercial and industrial premises.
“The launch of Next Cycle marks a turning point for the Australian heating, cooling, hot water and chilled water industry, which has seen minimal change or technological advancement over the past two decades,” Harrison says.
“We’re proud to be bringing Europe’s leading range of sustainable heating, cooling, hot water and chilled water solutions to Australia, coupled with our market-leading warranties and service levels.”
Product portfolio
The launch partner for Next Cycle’s operations here is Italian brand Maxa.
As part of its exclusive partnership with Maxa, Next Cycle stocks the Maxa i-290 series, which it says is Australia’s most comprehensive R290 range and comes with a seven-year warranty.
The series is offered in 19 sizes from 6.2 kilowatts to 170 kilowatts and a coefficient of performance (COP) of up to 4.94 for the 16 kilowatts system.
Maxa’s R290 systems deliver water temperature outputs as high as 78 degrees Celsius for the 21 kilowatts model and above, and operate at a wide range of temperatures, from -20 to +46 degrees Celsius.
Overall, Next Cycle stocks inverter heat pumps with capacities ranging from 6 kilowatts to 356 kilowatts, delivering chilled water from -8 degrees Celsius to hot water up to 78 degrees Celsius.
The Maxa i-290 and HWA2 series use R290 refrigerant, which has a global warming potential (GWP) of 3 and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP).
“The Next Cycle team’s extensive HVAC + water experience and their commitment to building a more sustainable industry makes them the ideal partner for us,” Maxa chief executive officer Simone Ferroli says.
Next Cycle also offers Maxa Green Training, which it says will provide installers with the expertise to install and service Maxa products.
“Europe has long led the way in heat pump innovation and this launch signals the beginning of what the future will look like for HVAC + water in Australia,” Harrison says. “Our exclusive partnership with Maxa enables us to provide cutting-edge technology with proven cost-efficiencies for our customers and ultra-low environmental impact.”
