Mitsubishi Electric announces the launch of the new Ecodan heat pump using propane refrigerant and promising higher Coefficient of Performance. The Ecodan R290 (PUZ-WZ) was launched at the ISH exhibition in March and is being manufactured in the Mitsubishi Electric factory in Livingston, Scotland.
It is available in heating capacities of 5, 6 and 8kW, providing flow temperatures of up to 75°C on demand at ambient temperatures as low as -15°C. Application range is said to be down to -25°C. It is a big step towards more sustainable home heating, says Mitsubishi Electric, as the units can achieve COPs greater than four in heating mode.
It claims SCOPs for heating water to 35°C varying between 4.49 and 4.62, while the SCOP at 55°C varies from 3.53 to 3.56. Sound pressure levels at 1m are 40dBA.
This innovative model has a guaranteed operation range down to -25°C ambient temperature, while utilising the refrigerant properties of R290 to efficiently achieve high water temperatures up to 75°C and a low GWP (Global Warming Potential). Making the Ecodan R290 heat pump the perfect renewable alternative to conventional fossil fuel boilers.
The new Ecodan air source heat pump is setting new standards for performance and sustainability. Using R290 with a Global Warming Potential of only 3 and offering flow temperatures of up to 75°C. Ecodan offers versatile application.
- Available in: 5kW, 6kW and 8kW
