Efficient heat pumps with natural refrigerant R290
Propane heat pumps use the natural refrigerant R290 (propane) and combine high efficiency with maximum environmental compatibility.
Whether air source heat pumps using outside air or ground source heat pumps using the ground as a heat source, propane heat pumps are a future-proof solution for new builds and renovations of detached houses, semi-detached houses and small apartment buildings. They enable sustainable heating and hot water production while keeping operating costs low.
Which buildings are propane heat pumps suitable for?
Propane heat pumps are suitable for:
- Single-Family Homes
- Two-family homes
- Small apartment buildings
- New buildings with a focus on sustainability
- Renovations, even at higher flow temperatures
- Industrial and commercial properties
They can be used for heating and hot water as well as for cooling, depending on the system.
What are propane heat pumps?
Propane heat pumps are heat pumps that use the natural refrigerant R290. Propane is one of the so-called natural refrigerants and is characterized by a very low global warming potential (GWP) value.
As a result, propane heat pumps already meet future legal requirements today and make an important contribution to climate protection.
Advantages of propane (R290) as a refrigerant
The use of propane offers decisive advantages over conventional synthetic refrigerants:
- Very low GWP value: particularly climate-friendly
- High energy efficiency and good thermodynamic properties
- High flow temperatures possible: ideal for renovations
- Future-proof thanks to compliance with current and future F-gas regulations
- Proven, natural refrigerant with high availability
These properties make propane heat pumps a sustainable and secure long-term investment.
Propane heat pumps with air or geothermal energy
Propane can be used in various types of heat pumps:
Air source heat pumps with R290
Use outside air as a heat source and offer flexible application options and easy installation. They are ideal for new builds and renovations, even on limited plots of land.
Geothermal heat pumps with R290
Use the constant temperature in the ground and offer particularly high efficiency and quiet operation. They are particularly suitable for builders with a suitable plot of land or drilling facilities.
Both variants combine the advantages of the respective heat source with the positive properties of propane as a refrigerant.
