Trane steps up with Exergy heat pump on R1234ze

BELGIUM: Trane has expanded its heating solutions portfolio with the new Trane Exergy Series heat pumps with a heating capacity up to 120ºC on low GWP HFO refrigerant R1234ze.

Designed to replace oil and gas boilers in industrial process, buildings and district heating applications, the Exergy heat pumps are claimed to deliver highest temperature of generated heat on the market. They can source energy from natural water as well as wastewater or industrial processes, at a temperature range between -20ºC and +45ºC. 

The new Trane Exergy Series heat pumps are manufactured in cooperation with Finnish energy and cleantech company Oilon, a Lahti-based company with over 60 years of experience in generating heat for private residences, large residential buildings, district heating networks, and for a variety of industrial processes.

The new heat pumps are available in capacities from 30kW to 2000kW and claim to be up to 400% more energy efficient compared to most fossil-fuelled boiler systems.
