Propane heat pumps operate on the principle of heat transfer and compression. In heating mode, they extract heat from the outdoor air (even in cold temperatures) and transfer it indoors to provide heating. In cooling mode, they reverse the process to remove heat from indoors and release it outside to provide cooling.
Replace existing Chillers with R290-FOUR and provide Low Carbon Heating as well as Cooling, now 1 x Cable = 2 x Outputs.
Simultaneous heat pump units utilise R290, a natural refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3 and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), ensuring an environmentally sustainable cooling and heating solution. Designed for ultra-low noise operation, these units deliver up to 70°C in heating mode and -7°C in cooling mode, making them highly versatile across various applications. They do not require ATEX compliance, simplifying installation and regulatory approvals.
The system can contribute up to four BREEAM points, enhancing a building’s sustainability rating.

The fluorinated hydrocarbons (“F-gases”) refrigerants, such as R134a or R410A have been in use for a long time now. These are synthetic refrigerants with a very high global warming potential and are harmful to the climate. In most of the applications, these refrigerants are completely banned, this asks for the adoption of natural refrigerants. The latest R290-FOUR range is completely future proof, it uses a natural refrigerant R290 with a very low global warming potential of 3 and an Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) of 0.
R290 (Propane) refrigerant functions in the same way as other refrigerants like HFO, HFCs that have been in use up to now. The use of natural and “green” refrigerant propane (R290) makes this a climate-friendly heating system.
