Setting new standards in the heating market is a Vaillant tradition. Protecting the climate and the environment are new challenges that we are taking on today. Autonomous energy devices such as heat pumps, which are powered by renewable energies, are the key to this. As sustainable as they already are, they can always be optimized. Not only in terms of climate protection, but also in terms of manufacturing and economical operation. That' s why we aim to make every component of our products even more sustainable. Therefore, our aroTHERM plus heat pump runs on the natural refrigerant R290.
It has clear advantages compared to other refrigerants: Such as low global warming potential (GWP), high efficiency values and a high flow temperature of up to 75°C, making it perfect for use in existing buildings with radiators.
R290 is the technical designation for the natural refrigerant also known as propane. It is already used in many things of our daily life, such as refrigerators, air conditioning or even hairspray – Vaillant is one of the first companies to introduce the environmentally friendly refrigerant in heat pumps.
The higher the worse - GWP is a comparative value that indicates the greenhouse effect of a greenhouse gas, such as a refrigerant, if it were to be released into the environment. The higher the value, the worse the impact on the climate.
Exemplary GWPs of some refrigerants:
