Compared to HFC alternatives, reversible propane heat pumps can also reduce greenhouse gas emissions due to lower GWP, lower refrigerant charge and higher system efficiency.
Euroklimat manufactured what is believed to be the country’s first such R290 chiller installation.
Italian OEM Euroklimat provided the six R290 chillers, which are used for air-conditioning and cold storage.
The reversible heat pumps provide both space heating and cooling for the warehouse and offices.
The four TAE N Mini chillers offer cooling capacities from 1.7kW (0.48TR) to 4.4kW (1.3TR).
The installation has inverter-driven compressors and two types of heat recovery.
Propane systems represent 60% of Euroklimat’s sales, with a goal of 90% in five years.
Euroklimat propane chiller serves the 9,000m2 site, which includes both the dairy and offices.
