Heat Pumps Today

June | July 2021 08 A D V E R T O R I A L Heat Pump systems have become an increasingly recognised technology for households in Europe. The dynamic growth of Heat Pump installations significantly contributes to making heating systems more sustainable. By replacing fossil fuel usage and reducing electric energy consumption with Heat Pump technology, households can benefit from both cost savings and reductions in CO 2 emissions, with positive implications for greenhouse gasses. Heat Pumps are most efficient in new builds. Due to high flow temperatures achieved in modern Heat Pump technology, they can also be installed in existing buildings and renovations to produce efficiency improvements and reduce HFOs & Heat Pumps: AWinning Solution for a Sustainable Future environmental impact, making them suitable for every type of home and installation space. With the EU Green Deal helping to promote the acceleration of decarbonisation, driving the region towards a climate-neutral economy, HFO (hydrofluoroolefin) refrigerants play a key role. In line with this, Chemours is proud to have developed a range of refrigerant solutions that optimise Heat Pump applications – Opteon™ XL41 and Opteon™ XL20. These HFO blends have low-GWP (global warming potential), meaning that they represent a sustainable, long-term solution for the industry. Opteon™ XL solutions allow Heat Pumps to operate at their best performance levels and lower their environmental impact. Performance and efficiency in Heat Pumps Heat Pumps convert the thermal energy stored in the air, water or underground into heating energy. Reversely, they can transfer and cool residual heat from a household to the outside environment, contributing to cover heating, cooling, ventilation and hot water needs in a very energy-efficient way, compared to traditional heating and cooling technologies. They also represent a more efficient alternative to electric sanitary water and floor heating systems. The complexity of the Heat Pump's
