Propane-based heat pumps, up to 30% more efficient than R410A, have the greatest potential for quick growth in the American market, he says.
A report by the German Environment Agency found that R290 in particular is well suited for energy-efficient heat pumps.
The Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems aims to develop propane heat pumps to replace existing fossil fuel-based heating systems in a range of residential applications.
With coupling options, the new air-to-water range offers capacities from 48 to 190kW, with hot water production up to 75°C.
Each store will use two-to-five of the12kW capacity air-to-water units, which provide hot water flow temperatures up to 75°C at ambient temperatures down to -25°C.
The Fraunhofer Institute’s solar thermal façade panels offer a noiseless and space-saving alternative to the air unit of an air-source heat pump.
With the purchase of Viessmann Climate Solutions, the U.S. OEM hopes to accelerate its transformation into a global leader of ‘intelligent climate and energy transition solutions.’
The manufacturer’s plans include producing the indoor propane-based residential heat pump at its facility in Eibelshausen, Germany.
Launching in 2024, the residential heat pumps will highlight LG’s commitment to energy-efficient solutions.
