Domestic ground source heat pump with Inverter technology and natural refrigerant R290 

In December 2020 Ecoforest launched the ecoGEO⁺ 1-6 PRO model and became the first European manufacturer to launch a ground source heat pump with natural refrigerant R290. In November 2023, the range was extended with the ecoGEO⁺ 2-10 PRO and ecoGEO⁺ 4-16 PRO models to meet the needs of any installation with the advantages of natural refrigerant:  

• A forward-looking refrigerant: the natural refrigerant R290 has a global warming coefficient 700 times lower than that of synthetic refrigerants. As a result, the European Union has chosen natural refrigerants as the path for the future development of the HVAC sector in the European Union. 
• Versatility: high flow temperature up to 70ºC, allowing the replacement of boilers in installations with radiators.
• Indoor installation: with a ventilation system that makes them suitable for any boiler room.

In addition, the ecoGEO⁺ PRO range has Ecoforest’s  efficiency and hybridisation capacity. Ecoforest’s distinctive management software allows the heat pump to adapt its operation to the needs of the installation, resulting in a greater efficiency.

In the case of installations with photovoltaics (PV), the heat pumps match perfectly the photovoltaic production to pave the way to a net zero building.
