R290 Heat Pumps: Safe Innovation, Not a Hidden Hazard

14 Jul 2026Heat Pumps

Dr. Halil İbrahim DağBoard Member / Technical Coordinator

R290 heat pumps run on propane, a natural refrigerant with near-zero global warming potential and excellent efficiency. The trade-off is A3 flammability — managed through charge limits, leak detection, sealed components and certified installation. With EU F-Gas rules squeezing out high-GWP refrigerants, R290 is a safe, forward-compatible choice when installed and maintained professionally.

Are Pool Heat Pumps Really Efficient — and What Will They Cost?

Pool heat pumps really are efficient: by moving ambient heat instead of generating it, they can be up to five times more efficient than gas or electric heaters. Expect a higher upfront investment, then lower energy and maintenance bills that offset it over a long service life. They are most efficient in air above 7 °C, and modern units such as Solimpeks' Varm Silent Pool keep heating down to −7 °C; a pool cover makes the most of either.

Factors Driving the Increased Use of Pool Heat Pumps

Pool heat pumps are spreading because they deliver up to five times more heat than the electricity they consume, cutting running costs while shrinking emissions. Rising energy prices, sustainability goals and better technology — inverter compressors, Wi-Fi controls, improved cold-weather performance — have turned them into the default choice for homeowners and public pools alike, with lifespans beyond 15 years.

Choosing the Right Heat Pump: Types, Sizing and Selection Tools

Choosing the right heat pump means matching type, capacity and efficiency class to your building. Air-source units are the most affordable to install and now run down to -30 °C; ground-source delivers the lowest running costs; hybrids switch fuels intelligently. Size from a proper heat load calculation — selection tools make this fast — and read COP and SEER ratings before you buy.

What Remote Control on a Solimpeks Heat Pump Actually Does

Solimpeks heat pumps in the Varm Up, Varm Boost and Varm Silent Pool ranges carry a built-in Wi-Fi module and connect to the Smart Life app for temperature setting, timers, mode changes and live parameters. Behind the app sits Solimpeks' IoT customer-management platform, which monitors technical data in real time, plans periodic maintenance and flags faults before they become failures.

Replacing an Electric Water Heater with a DHW Heat Pump: Solido in Real Numbers

A domestic-hot-water heat pump delivers the same hot water as an electric water heater for roughly a third of the electricity. The Solimpeks Solido Series pairs an air-source heat pump with an integrated 200 L or 300 L enamel-coated tank, reaches 65 °C in heat-pump mode (75 °C with the 2 kW backup heater), and runs on a standard single-phase household supply at a rated 900 W.

Integrating Heat Pumps and Photovoltaics in Industrial Facilities

Mahmut Sami BükerAssoc. Prof. Dr., Necmettin Erbakan University — Managing Director & Co-founder, Innorma R&D

Pairing photovoltaic arrays with electric heat pumps lets industrial facilities run heating and cooling on self-generated solar power, cutting energy bills and emissions at once. This guide covers the technology synergy, the financial case — incentives can cover 20–30% of upfront costs — and a practical roadmap from energy audit to phased implementation.

Heat Pumps in Industry: Cleaner Process Heat and Lower Carbon Footprints

25 Nov 2025Heat Pumps

Mahmut Sami BükerAssoc. Prof. Dr., Necmettin Erbakan University — Managing Director & Co-founder, Innorma R&D

Industrial heat pumps move heat instead of generating it by combustion, delivering three to five units of thermal energy per unit of electricity. That efficiency cuts process-heating energy use by up to 50% versus legacy boilers, recovers low-grade waste heat, and shrinks carbon footprints — while EU programmes such as REPowerEU help fund the switch.

Advantages of EVI Compressors in Heat Pump Systems

18 Nov 2025Heat Pumps

Dr. Halil İbrahim DağBoard Member / Technical Coordinator

Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) compressors inject extra refrigerant vapor mid-compression through an economizer circuit, keeping heat pumps efficient in deep subzero conditions. The result: up to 30% more heating capacity, higher COP, stable operation down to -20°C (some models -30°C) and lower operating costs — making EVI a key technology for cold-climate heat pump deployment, supported by EU and national incentive programs.
