Carrier Solutions UK has unveiled its latest innovation, the AquaSnap 30AWH-P monobloc air-to-water heat pump, designed to meet the heating and cooling needs of residential and light commercial applications. This cutting-edge product leverages the ultra-low global warming potential (GWP) R290 refrigerant (propane) to deliver superior efficiency and environmental sustainability.
A Step Towards Environmental Responsibility
The AquaSnap 30AWH-P uses R290, a natural refrigerant with an extremely low GWP, achieving a 99.999% reduction in CO2 equivalent emissions compared to traditional refrigerants like R410A. In addition to its sustainability, R290 offers higher energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption and associated costs. The unit achieves a high SCOP of up to 4.82 and SEER of up to 5.34, ensuring year-round efficiency in heating and cooling.
