The company’s manufacturing facilities can produce millions of heat pumps to meet demand for climate-friendly heat units.
The German manufacturer is expanding the output ranges and product portfolio of hydronic heat pumps based on R290.
Close to 40 companies exhibited R290 heat pumps, signaling a decisive move away from fluorinated greenhouse gases.
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.
Five air-to-water heat pumps were installed at Northumbria University for space heating, replacing gas boilers.
The study finds that natural refrigerant heat pumps’ performance is equal to, or better than, that of synthetic alternatives.
The funding will also support the completion of the company’s production facility in Åstorp, Sweden.
Daikin Europe is set to launch the new Altherma 4 air-to-water heat pump series at ISH 2023, including models running on natural refrigerant propane.
According to industry sources, the propane-based compressors are for a manufacturer of domestic heat pumps.
