Understanding the R290 Heat Pump Technology

With the push towards sustainable energy solutions, R290 heat pumps have become preferred by UK industries seeking efficient and green heating systems.

What is R290 and Why is it Important?

R290 is an excellent choice in heat pumps for its energy-saving and eco-friendly properties.

Why GWP Matters in Choosing R290

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, ideal for UK industries focused on minimising emissions.

R290 Heat Pump Operation

R290 heat pumps work by absorbing and transferring heat energy from the outside to the inside, similar to traditional heat pumps but with superior 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, cutting operational costs for UK industries.


• Low Carbon Footprint: With its minimal GWP, R290 aligns well with sustainability goals set by UK regulators.


• Versatile: These pumps perform well in both low and high-temperature industrial environments.
