Air-cooled propane (R290) heat pump
Our heat pumps clearly stand for sustainability, energy efficiency and system safety. But also system redundancy and life cycle costs are considered criteria for our specially developed air-cooled propane heat pumps. The use of natural refrigerants is demonstrably environmentally friendly and future-proof for the respective application, so we would like to make use of them today. The efficient and safe propane heat pumps are designed in such a way that by means of several separate refrigeration circuits the refrigerant charge is always low and at the same time a high system availability can be ensured. Our practiced SKADEC safety concept guarantees you a safe operation of the system at any time. For this purpose, each heat pump is additionally equipped with a propane gas sensor and an EX fan for housing ventilation. Even in the special case of a leakage, the heat pump can be switched off without voltage by means of two defined warning thresholds. The system is available with both reciprocating and screw compressors in a capacity range from 25 kW to 460 kW. The supplied propane heat pump controller is equipped with a 7″ touch panel. Operating language is German or English. Each system can also be permanently monitored by means of an integrated remote maintenance system. The housing is optimized for heating and ensures that no condensation water freezes on the housing during defrosting.
