The Samsung Coastal R32 12kW Monobloc Heat Pump is the standard Samsung Gen 6 12kW air-to-water unit, factory-finished with a Blygold anti-corrosion coating to withstand the harsh, salt-laden air found within roughly 3 miles of the coast. It delivers the same heating performance and efficiency as the standard 12kW model, with the heat exchanger specifically protected against the marine corrosion that would otherwise shorten the working life of an unprotected unit in these locations.
Blygold has specialised exclusively in corrosion protection for HVAC heat exchangers since 1976, and is recognised as the market leader in this field worldwide. Its coating is applied as a thin, high-UV and chemical-resistant layer directly onto the Round Tube Plate Fin (RTPF) heat exchanger, sealing it from the environment without measurably affecting heat transfer or pressure drop - the two properties most at risk from a poorly chosen or overly thick protective coating. This higher-output 12kW unit suits larger coastal homes and small commercial properties needing the corrosion protection alongside greater heating capacity.

Why the Heat Exchanger Needs Extra Protection
A heat pump's Round Tube Plate Fin (RTPF) heat exchanger is built from dissimilar metals and is exposed to constant air circulation - conditions that are already prone to corrosion, and are significantly worsened by airborne salt near the coast. The Blygold coating seals the exchanger surface from this environment while preserving its heat transfer performance, addressing the specific failure point that a standard unpainted unit is most vulnerable to in a marine setting.
Delivered Direct from Blygold to Site
The Blygold coating is applied as part of this unit's supply chain, and delivery from Blygold to site is included in the price of this coastal-specification heat pump.
Confirm Electrical Supply Capacity Before Ordering
This 12kW single-phase unit carries a Minimum Circuit Amps (MCA) rating of 28.0 A and a Maximum Fuse Amps (MFA) rating of 35.0 A. Always confirm the property's electrical supply and consumer unit can support this load before ordering.
MCS-Certified Installation Required
Installation must be carried out by an MCS-certified installer to ensure compliance with UK regulations, to qualify for available government funding schemes, and to validate the manufacturer warranty.
Compatible Control Kits & Wi-Fi
This unit is completed with either the MIM-E03EN or MIM-E03FN control kit (sold separately) - both provide full heating, hot water, and mixing valve control, with the MIM-E03FN adding a 7" touchscreen display over the standard wired controller. Add the MIM-H04EN Wi-Fi Controller Kit to either control kit for remote monitoring and control via the Samsung SmartThings app. Alternatively, pair this heat pump with a pre-plumbed Samsung ClimateHub or Joule Kodiak cylinder, which include the necessary controls built in.
45+ Years of Coating Expertise
Blygold has specialised exclusively in HVAC corrosion protection since 1976, and its coatings are recognised globally as the benchmark for heat exchanger protection.
Thin-Film Application
The coating is applied as a thin layer directly onto the heat exchanger, sealing it from salt-laden air without adding meaningful thickness that would restrict airflow or heat transfer.
High UV and Chemical Resistance
Formulated for high UV and chemical resistance, the coating continues to protect the heat exchanger through years of outdoor sun exposure and coastal atmospheric pollutants.
No Loss of Heat Transfer or Pressure Drop
Unlike thicker or poorly matched coatings, the Blygold finish is engineered to have no meaningful impact on heat transfer or pressure drop, preserving the unit's rated performance.
Same Gen 6 Platform as the Standard 12kW
Built on Samsung's proven Gen 6 R32 monobloc platform, this coastal unit shares the same heating capacity, COP, and control compatibility as the standard 12kW model.
True Monobloc Design
The entire refrigerant circuit is factory-sealed in the outdoor unit, removing the need for on-site refrigerant handling or F-Gas certification.

What does the Blygold coating actually protect against?
It protects the Round Tube Plate Fin heat exchanger - the part of the unit most vulnerable to corrosion - from salt-laden coastal air. Left unprotected, this dissimilar-metal component corrodes faster near the sea, gradually reducing capacity and increasing energy consumption.
Does the coating affect the heat pump's performance?
No. Blygold's coating is applied as a thin film specifically engineered to seal the heat exchanger without measurably affecting heat transfer or pressure drop, so the unit's rated 12kW output and COP of 4.53 are unaffected.
How close to the coast does a property need to be for this to matter?
This coastal-specification unit is generally recommended for properties within approximately 3 miles of the coast, where airborne salt significantly accelerates corrosion on unprotected outdoor equipment.
Will my single-phase supply cope with this 12kW unit?
This model draws up to 35.0 A (MFA) on a single-phase supply, which is a significant load. An installer should confirm the property's supply capacity and consumer unit rating before ordering.
Does this heat pump include an indoor control unit or cylinder?
No. This listing is for the outdoor monobloc unit only, with the Blygold coating already applied. A Samsung control kit or a pre-plumbed cylinder solution such as a ClimateHub or Joule Kodiak cylinder is required separately to complete a working system.
Is MCS certification required for installation?
Yes. Installation should be carried out by an MCS-certified installer to ensure compliance with UK regulations, to qualify for available government funding schemes, and to validate the manufacturer's warranty.
