Carrier, a global leader in healthy, safe, sustainable building and cold chain solutions, has unveiled a groundbreaking innovation – the AquaSnap 30AWH-P monobloc air-to-water heat pump. This European-made system utilizes R290, a natural refrigerant also known as propane, marking a significant step toward environmentally responsible climate control.
A Sustainable Choice: Embracing R290
The AquaSnap 30AWH-P distinguishes itself by using R290 as its refrigerant. This choice offers several environmental benefits:
- Ultra-Low Global Warming Potential (GWP): R290 boasts a GWP of 3, a near-zero impact on climate change compared to traditional refrigerants with much higher GWPs.
- Enhanced Energy Efficiency: R290 requires less energy to achieve the same cooling or heating capacity as conventional refrigerants, translating to lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact.
Compact Design, Powerful Performance
Beyond its eco-friendly credentials, the AquaSnap 30AWH-P boasts several user-friendly features:
- Monobloc Configuration: All essential components are housed in a single, compact outdoor unit, simplifying installation and minimizing indoor space requirements.
- Whisper-Quiet Operation: The system prioritizes quiet operation, emitting sound levels as low as 49 dB(A) in its lowest setting, ideal for residential and light commercial settings.
- Versatile Capacity Range: Available in eight configurations, the AquaSnap 30AWH-P caters to a diverse range of heating and cooling needs, from single-phase 4 kW models to three-phase 14 kW units.
A Focus on User Comfort and Efficiency
The AquaSnap 30AWH-P incorporates advanced technologies to deliver superior comfort and efficiency:
- High Efficiency Ratings: The system achieves an impressive Seasonal Coefficient of Performance (SCOP) of up to 4.82 and a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER) of up to 5.34, signifying exceptional energy savings.
- User-Friendly Control System: Carrier’s Comfort Management T300 control system provides convenient remote control capabilities via the Carrier Comfort Management app.
A Step Toward a Greener Future
The launch of the AquaSnap 30AWH-P on R290 reflects Carrier’s commitment to sustainable innovation. By offering a high-performing, environmentally friendly solution, Carrier empowers homeowners and businesses to embrace a greener approach to heating and cooling. This innovative system has the potential to redefine climate control standards, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
