Why use the Eco-friendly R744 (CO2) refrigerant?
- It offers no ozone layer depletion and minimal global warming (ie. as per table below) versus other commonly used refrigerants, should the system leak.
- It performs higher compression efficiency, with lower energy consumption, thereby allowing more heat to be transferred to the water, for less energy used (i.e. excellent thermodynamic ability).
- The refrigerant temperature gets very hot, very quickly, so water temperature of 63ºC, is achieved almost instantly from the Heat Pump unit.
