Vaillant introduces the natural refrigerant R290 in heat pumps ting new standards in the heating market has been vailant lradiion for years. Now we are leveragi to help protect the climate ng our expertise by introducing the natural ft range. it has alive refrigerants: app refrigerant R290 for our heat purnp p clear advantages aver alt less tiling quantity is need potential your customers.

R290 is already carimanly used in many parts cur daily Ife, such as in refrigerators, air conditioring or even hairspray - Vaillant is one of the frst companies to introduce this refrigerant in heat pumps R290 brings unbeatable benefits to our heat pumps: a Beene ane eet ere Higher hot water without back-up heater due to a Ue ee ad fer ly fort and legio friendly ee * What is global warming potential (GWP)? GWP is a comparative value that indicates the greenhouse effect of a greenhouse gas, such as a refrigerant, ifit sased into the environment. The higher the worse the impact on the climate. Exemplary GWPs of some refrigerants: co, {1 The value indicates the amount of CO, which has an equal global R290 [3 warming effect. To calculate the Raz [ers COs impact of arefrigerant, the amount contained in the heat pump R4IOK| 2,088 | multiplied by its GWP value. Exemplary calculation RaIOA 290 (aroTHERM plus) 8 kg of RAIOA x 2.088 GWP 0.6 kg of R290 x3 GNP = 3,760 kg CO, 21.8 kg CO, > 12-hour ight oa sm Comfort for your homeWhat does the switch to R290 mean for you? By using R290 with monobloc technology in aroTHERM plus heat pumps, the Seasonal CoEfficient of Performance is increased and energy and running costs can be reduced. The aroTHERM plus produces zero emissions at the point of use. CC EU legislation to reduce F-gases 0 the F-gas regulation came ino force in 2015, sal isto phase down the use of these gases to 20% of 2014 sales by 2030, as well as to ban the use of certain F-gases where less harmful alternatives are widely available, «0 EU F-gases phase-down steps Inthe growing markel for heat pumps, there are two ways to do this, Firstly by using a refrigerant with a lower GWP, and secondly by reducing the actual amount of refrigerant used in ‘ product, The new aroTHERM plus provides both advantages: It reduces GWP and the refrigerant used in a product eof baseline consumption alloned Trust in Vaillant ‘as one of the world’s market leaders in heat pump technology and with more than 140 years of expertence In designing and manufacturing heating appliances, Valant has always heen the pacemaker in the heating Industry. The quality of our products is unrivalled. We ensure our reputation for quality ‘s maintained with, 100% production in Europe, comprehensive test centres and rigorous safety checks throughout the entire Ife cycle of our heat pumps, 140 RATAN ES ‘of course, the achievements of Vallant rely on the exceptional work of our trained Installers all over the world, We can continue this success story and lead the way into a cleaner and more profitable future together.
