Heat pump technology The importance of Refrigerant Gases Heat pump technology is powered by refrigerant — a compound typically found in a fluid or gaseous state. A refrigerant works by absorbing heat from the environment, and within the refrigerant circuit it uses components such as condensers, compressors, and evaporators to produce heat. Refrigerant types are classed based on their efficiency and environmental impact. Ariston’s Nimbus heating heat pumps (see page 20) use the highly efficient R32 refrigerant with a global warming potential that is a third lower than other commonly used refrigerants like R410. R32 also has an ozone depletion potential of zero, which makes it one of the greenest refrigerant gases available to date. R32 Refrigerant 70 % Lower GWP (Global Warming Potential) Zero ozone Depletion potential Easy to recycle Ariston is committed to using the most effective refrigerants for its renewable products, while balancing overall performance and practicality. For this reason, our Nuos Plus Wi-Fi utilises R134A refrigerant, while our new Nimbus heat pumps will utilise the next-generation R32. | 10 | 11
