R290 (propane) is the future-proof, environmentally friendly refrigerant in heat pump technology – natural, efficient and sustainable. At the same time, its flammability requires the highest level of care in planning and installation.
The EU is planning stricter Environmental Regulations that could mean the gradual phasing out of fluorinated greenhouse gases - known as F-Gases - in Heat Pumps. This regulation, also known as the EU Refrigerant ban for Heat Pumps, is intended to help reduce emissions and will affect both consumers and the Manufacturing industry. In this article, we look at the details of the planned ban, its timing and the potential impact on consumers and the Market.
