A flat roof installation project adapted to Montreal realities
At AirGreen , we are often called upon to intervene in a variety of technical contexts. The recent installation of a Sharp Eco Inverter wall-mounted heat pump in a building in the Saint-Laurent sector perfectly illustrates our expertise in HVAC solutions adapted to flat roofs typical of urban buildings. The objective of this project was to ensure optimal thermal comfort for occupants while taking into account the structural and climatic constraints specific to Montreal.
Project context and client needs
The building owner wanted to replace an old air conditioning system with a more efficient solution capable of providing both heating and cooling. The Sharp Eco Inverter , equipped with Plasmacluster Ion technology, was chosen for its reliability, energy efficiency and ability to maintain stable performance, even during the city's harsh winters.
Furthermore, the client wanted a robust and durable installation, given the direct exposure of the outdoor unit to the elements on a flat roof.
Technical features of the Sharp Eco Inverter
-
Device type : Wall-mounted heat pump (mini-split).
-
Brand : Sharp.
-
Key technology : Inverter for precise power modulation.
-
Additional function : Plasmacluster Ion , improving indoor air quality by neutralizing particles and allergens.
-
Energy performance : complies with efficiency criteria recognized in Quebec, with substantial savings on the annual energy bill.
This model from the Eco Inverter range stands out for its ability to adapt to load variations, reducing electricity consumption while extending the life of the compressor.
Flat Roof Installation Challenges
Installing a heat pump on a flat roof involves specific challenges that our team fully understands:
-
Suitable support : the unit was fixed to a metal structure placed on treated logs, allowing optimal stability and uniform distribution of weight on the roof membrane.
-
Membrane protection : the use of protective slabs under the supports helped to preserve the integrity of the roof's waterproofing.
-
Refrigerant pipe routing : the pipes have been carefully insulated and sheathed, ensuring resistance to temperature variations and consistent performance in both winter and summer.
-
Condensate drainage : the route has been optimized to allow reliable drainage, essential in a context where freeze-thaw cycles are frequent.
Results obtained
The installation was completed in a single day, despite slightly humid weather conditions. Once commissioned, the Sharp Eco Inverter immediately demonstrated its ability to provide consistent comfort throughout all rooms served, while maintaining very low noise levels. The client also noted a significant improvement in indoor air quality thanks to the Plasmacluster system.
Benefits for Saint-Laurent residents
-
Four-season comfort : reliable heating in winter, efficient air conditioning in summer.
-
Energy savings : significant reduction in consumption thanks to inverter technology.
-
Durable installation : robust structure adapted to the conditions of a Montreal flat roof.
-
Improved air quality : unique benefit of the Sharp ionizing function.
