Euro launch for R32 and R290 heat pumps

CHINA: Chinese heat pump manufacturer PHNIX has announced the European launch of new heat pumps running on R32 and R290 refrigerants.

The HeroPremium, designed with a matte black ABS plastic casing, uses R32 refrigerant and enhanced vapour injection Inverter technology.

Two models are available with heating capacities from 4.5kW to 23kW and cooling capacities from 3.1kW to 17kW. 

Using Panasonic compressors and Grundfos circulation pumps, the unit is said to run efficiently down to -25℃. Noise levels are as low as 39dB(A).

The GreenTherm series inverter air-to-water for R290 offers the same anti-corrosion matte black plastic casing, similarly operating down to -25ºC.
