The 34-48 kW air-to-air heat pump range is designed for the heating and cooling of large industrial and commercial environments. With the KITA AIR and KITA AIR Plus solutions, energy is transferred directly to the air supplied into the spaces, without the need for a hydraulic circuit: a feature that makes this system particularly suitable for industrial buildings, workshops, warehouses, gyms, and production areas, where high power, rapid climate control, and efficient consumption management are required.

Characteristics and advantages of air-to-air heat pumps
The 34 to 48 kW air-to-air heat pumps are designed to effectively respond to the air conditioning needs of large volumes, guaranteeing high performance and efficient energy management. This range combines power and installation flexibility, adapting to various industrial and commercial contexts.
Here are the main characteristics:
- Direct air conditioning without a hydraulic system: thermal energy is transferred directly to the air introduced into the rooms, simplifying the system and reducing installation time and costs.
- Flexible configurations: available in unit heater or ducted version, they allow the system to be adapted to specific air distribution needs.
- Efficiency and sustainability: the use of R32 refrigerant gas and compatibility with photovoltaic systems contribute to reducing consumption and emissions.
- Operation even at low temperatures: the units guarantee operational continuity even in harsh weather conditions, maintaining high performance.
- Smart control and acoustic comfort: remote management via the K-Touch panel and silent operation to ensure comfort even in work environments.
Which environments are air-to-air heat pumps suitable for?
The 34 to 48 kW air-to-air heat pumps are designed to air condition large environments, where rapid and effective air distribution is required. This technology is particularly suitable for spaces with high volumes and continuous use, where it is essential to guarantee thermal comfort uniformly and efficiently.
They perfectly adapt to industrial and commercial contexts such as:
- Industrial sheds
- Production areas
- Workshops
- Warehouses
- Commercial spaces
- Gyms
In these environments, direct air conditioning allows spaces to be heated or cooled rapidly, without the need for complex systems, improving working conditions and optimizing energy consumption at the same time.
Frequently asked questions about air-to-air heat pumps
Below you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about air-to-air heat pumps, useful for evaluating their operation, applications, and advantages.
How do air-to-air heat pumps work?
Air-to-air heat pumps consist of an outdoor unit, which contains the cooling circuit, and an indoor unit (unit heater) that distributes the air into the rooms.
In heating mode, the outdoor unit extracts heat from the outside air and, via the cooling circuit, transfers it to the indoor unit, which distributes it into the environment in the form of hot air. In cooling mode, the cycle is reversed: heat is extracted from the indoor air and expelled outside.
Unlike other heat pumps, such as our 1-9 kW or 10-49 kW air-to-water line which transfer energy to the system’s water, air-to-air pumps introduce treated air directly into the rooms, guaranteeing faster air conditioning and a simpler system.
What is the difference between the KITA Air and Air Plus models?
The KITA AIR range includes various solutions with outputs up to 40 kW, designed for standard industrial applications and intensive seasonal use.
KITA AIR PLUS, on the other hand, represents the more advanced version, with outputs up to 47 kW and more advanced management of air distribution, ideal for larger environments or those with specific needs for uniform heat diffusion.
What is the maximum heatable surface area or volume?
Generally speaking, an air-to-air heat pump in this range can cover surface areas approximately between 200 and 500 square meters. The correct sizing, however, depends on various factors, such as the height of the building, the level of insulation, and the intended use of the space.
Is it suitable for continuous or intensive operation?
Yes, these solutions are designed to work even under intensive use conditions. The KITA AIR models are particularly suitable for prolonged seasonal operation, guaranteeing reliability and operational continuity even in industrial settings.
How much does an air-to-air heat pump consume?
Consumption depends on the power of the machine, the hours of use, and the conditions of the building. In general, air-to-air heat pumps allow for high energy efficiency, exploiting the energy present in the outside air and reducing costs compared to traditional heating systems.
