Brief Introduction Of R290 Application In HAVAC INDUSTRY
What is R290?
R290, also known as propane, is a colorless, odorless alkane compound, with excellent thermal properties. At present, R290 is also used as the natural coolant for house heating cooling, air conditioning and refrigeration with 0 ODP and low GWP of only 3, which don’t need to be synthesized, without changing the content of natural hydrocarbons and no direct impact on the greenhouse effect.
1. Physical character: Propane is a colorless gas, insoluble in water at room temperature, with a low density and low boiling point.
2. Chemical properties: Propane is a combustion gas that reacts with oxygen to produce carbon dioxide and water. It is a non-polar molecule that is relatively stable and not easily destroyed by chemical reactions.
3. Propane is produced mainly by liquefaction of natural gas from oil and natural gas after purification and by-product removal. Gaseous propane was obtained by distillation, condensation and compression.
What are Benefits of R290 Refrigerant in HVAC Application?
1. Completely environmentally friendly
R290 refrigerant, derived from natural propane, is an environmentally friendly refrigerant that is completely friendly to the environment. Carbon neutrality has been a topic of concern all over the world in recent years. How to achieve carbon neutrality and protect the earth's environment is a problem that we need to study together.
HEEALARX is also concerned about the topic of global warming and is committed to making completely environmentally friendly products and doing its best to protect the environment.
2. Energy Saving
Because the R290 freezing point is low, the latent heat of evaporation is larger, the cooling rate is faster per unit time, and the equal compression ratio is small, making the compressor work easier, so it will extend the service life of the compressor.
At the same time, the R290 has small molecular weight, good fluidity, and lower conveying pressure, which reduces the load of the compressor. These characteristics make the use of R290 as a refrigerant energy saving rate of 15% to 35%.
3. Affordable
According to the amount of charge, the amount of R290 refrigerant is only 40% to 55% of R22 and R410a at a time, which is less and more economical, which can save you the cost of refrigerant.
4. 75 Centigrade Water Output
With the special character of R290 propane refrigerant, R290 full inverter air water heating cooling heat pump can produce 75 centigrade high water output without auxiliary heating element.
What Is R290 Application In Heat Pump Industry?
For the heat pump manufacturing industry, mostly of the professional manufacturer such as Midea, Phnix, Panasonic and also HEEALARX have released R290 full inverter air water heat pump for house heating, cooling and sanitary hot water supply and it will be the future market trend especially in the European heat pump market.
