The Anglo-Italian partnership will work to supply gas absorption heat pump (GAHP) solutions for temperature control within buildings.
The Robur-manufactured system is powered by natural gas or LPG and works by removing heat energy from the air into a pump so that it can heat or cool air or water inside a building.
