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 optimised. 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.
R290 has numerous 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 and even hairspray.
Vaillant is one of the first companies to introduce the environmentally friendly refrigerant in heat pumps.
Global warming potential 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:
The value indicates how much a given mass of the refrigerant contributes to global warming compared to the same mass of CO₂. R290 has three times the climate impact of CO₂ and therefore has a GWP of 3. To calculate the CO₂ impact of a refrigerant, the amount contained in the heat pump is multiplied by its GWP value.
✔ High energy efficiency class.
✔ Future-proof thanks to the most cutting-edge heat pump technology with natural refrigerant, reducing your carbon footprint.
✔ Outstanding quality and durability.
✔ Compact and super quiet.
