In this webinar, presented Gamma Technologies’ own Arne Heinrich (Senior Application Engineer, Thermal Fluid Systems), a heat pump with propane is presented as designed using GT-SUITE, based on an existing system with R410A. An attempt is made to preserve the majority of the existing components.
Driven by regulatory requirements, alternatives to classic refrigerants must be found. Propane is a promising alternative for running a heat pump. This can be seen, among other things, in the fact that at the beginning of this year the European scientific community spoke out in favour of propane in a position paper, as well as last year’s breakthrough by the Frauenhofer Institute to develop a propane-based heat pump with a load of less than 150g and a heat output of 12.8kW.
