YORKSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM, December 2, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- IV Produkt, the Swedish manufacturer of air handling units, has won Commercial HVAC Product of the Year – Ventilation at the H&V News Awards 2025 in London. The award recognises the Envistar Flex ThermoCooler HP R454B – a unique heat pump air handling unit developed specifically for markets where heating is a key priority.

The Envistar Flex ThermoCooler HP R454B is a modular, 100% fresh-air air handling unit with a fully integrated reversible heat pump designed specifically for defrost-free heating applications in climates such as the UK. By placing the DX system and heat exchangers on the warm side of the thermal wheel, it delivers uninterrupted heating with no capacity reductions in winter, while still providing efficient DX comfort cooling and free cooling in summer. This innovative configuration overcomes the long-standing defrosting and supply-air temperature fluctuations that affect traditional AHU-integrated reversible heat pumps. Its CE-marked, fully factory-tested design includes an integrated automatic leak detection system and meets all three available BREEAM POL1 credits.

With 21 unit sizes, airflows up to 10 m³/s and capacities up to 175 kW, the ThermoCooler HP R454B offers a scalable, energy-optimised alternative to conventional chiller–boiler combinations, reducing installation complexity, plant-space requirements and operational energy use.

“This is one of our absolute flagship products and a bestseller not only in the UK, but in all the markets where we are established,” said Manuel Swärd, Export Director West Europe at IV Produkt.

The judging panel praised the Envistar Flex ThermoCooler HP R454B for cutting investment costs, reducing energy consumption and lowering environmental impact. For building owners and installers, it offers a straightforward, plug-and-play system that performs consistently from day one.

Mattias Sjöberg, CEO and owner of IV Produkt, said: “ThermoCooler HP is perfectly aligned with today’s needs. This award gives us an additional boost in the market, and we are well prepared for it.”

Earlier in November, IV Produkt opened a new 5,000m² production facility in Växjö, increasing capacity to support rising demand for its next-generation integrated cooling units and heat pumps across Europe.
