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 minimise their environmental impact.

Understanding R290 in Heat Pumps

R290 is a popular choice in heat pumps for its low GWP and energy-efficient properties.

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 most sustainable options available, ideal for UK industries focused on minimising emissions.

R290 Heat Pump Operation

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 highly energy-efficient, reducing operational costs for UK industries.


• Low Carbon Footprint: With its low GWP, R290 aligns well with environmental goals set by the UK government.


• Versatile: R290 heat pumps are designed for both low and high-temperature settings.
