Understanding the R290 Heat Pump Technology

In the move towards sustainable heating solutions, R290 heat pumps stand out as an ideal choice for UK industries looking to reduce their environmental footprint.

Understanding R290 in Heat Pumps

R290, also referred to as natural propane, is a natural refrigerant widely chosen for its low GWP rating.

How Does GWP Impact R290 Heat Pumps?

Global Warming Potential (GWP) measures the impact of greenhouse gases on the atmosphere. With a very low GWP rating, R290 is one of the eco-friendly options available, especially for UK businesses aiming to reduce emissions.

How Do R290 Heat Pumps Operate?

R290 heat pumps operate by capturing and transferring heat energy from the outside to the inside, similar to traditional heat pumps but with enhanced efficiency due to the properties of R290.

Advantages of R290 Heat Pumps in the UK

• Reduced Energy Costs: R290 heat pumps are extremely energy-efficient, reducing operational costs for UK industries.


• Minimal Environmental Impact: With its minimal GWP, R290 aligns perfectly with sustainability goals set by UK regulators.


• Reliable in Different Conditions: R290 heat pumps are designed for both low and high-temperature industrial environments.
