Aermec has expanded its range of sustainable HVAC solutions with the launch of two new heat pumps using the natural refrigerant R290 (propane). The PRM air-cooled reversible modular heat pump and the PRG reversible air/water heat pump are designed for commercial buildings and industrial applications.
The PRM model delivers a cooling capacity of 95.6 kW and heating capacity of 101.7 kW, with hot water output up to 75 °C. Its modular design allows up to nine units to be connected, offering flexibility for system design, redundancy, and potential future expansion.
The PRG unit provides cooling from 49.9 kW to 146.9 kW and heating from 51.7 kW to 144.3 kW. It supports operation in ambient temperatures ranging from -20 °C in winter to 48 °C in summer, and can also deliver hot water up to 75 °C.
“The market for propane products is continually growing,” said David Evans, Aermec’s national sales manager. “This is being driven by demand for more eco-friendly refrigerants with ultra low GWP’s but also as a result of changing global legislation. Propane offers us and designers a challenge with how we apply it to buildings. It is now part of our role to educate the market.”
