The EHS Mono R290 has a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3 (compared to the GWP of other refrigerant technologies such as R32 (675)). It provides a consistent supply of high hot water temperature, reaching up to 75 °C, making the range suitable for renovations and retrofits
Moreover, the EHS Mono R290 boasts an enlarged integral plate heat exchanger capable of transferring more heat at once compared to a conventional outdoor unit, thanks to a heat transfer area that is up to 39% larger. According to the company it can deliver a 100% heating performance in temperatures as low as -10°C, while being capable of producing Domestic Hot Water (DHW) at 70°C with outdoor temperatures between -10 and 43°C ambient temperature without using the booster heater.
The EHS Mono outdoor unit is designed for simple installation, service and maintenance. The components of the heat pump can be accessed through the side panel, which can be removed by simply loosening three screws. This results in significant time and effort saving during the installation, maintenance and servicing procedures.
Styled in a dark grey color which complements the current design trend for modern building exteriors, the EHS Mono R290 is available in a broad range of capacities for varying requirements – 5, 8, 12, and 16kW. All units are single fan, but notably, the 5 and 8kW units are only 850mm in height.
The new range of heat pumps can also be connected to SmartThings Energy, which is compatible with voice assistants like Bixby, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, and a wide range of devices. It offers the ultimate home energy management systems, as well as real energy savings through rich insights, energy saving automations, and support for users to move towards a net zero home.
The EHS Mono R290 is also compatible with the EHS Cloud Service and can be integrated with SmartThings Energy, which provides professionals with a wealth of technical data and insights, enabling remote monitoring of the unit as well as energy saving automation.
From automatic reports to malfunction types, and status checks to energy consumption information, the EHS Cloud Service allows professionals to make a pre-diagnosis of potential issues, so they may carry the necessary parts and equipment when visiting the user’s home. It also allows for solving minor issues remotely.
Joe Raftery, Heating Product Manager in the UK for Samsung Climate Solutions, said: “We are particularly pleased to be launching this product which represents huge technological achievements in product design.
“This product demonstrates once again that Samsung has catered to the expectations of the modern consumer by offering them more flexibility in the low carbon heat sources available to them.
“The internal components of the unit have been adapted when compared to a standard R32 monobloc heat pump to support the separation of the R290 refrigerant and the rest of the system. Designed to work seamlessly with R290, homeowners and installers alike will appreciate the ease of operation of this unit.”
