Game Changing Technology for Traditional Heating Systems
/The Mitsubishi Ecodan R290
A High-Performance, Low-Carbon Heating Solution for Small Commercial Properties
As the commercial property sector continues to embrace low-carbon heating technologies, the need for dependable, efficient, and environmentally responsible systems has never been greater. For smaller commercial buildings such as dental surgeries, GP practices, veterinary clinics, retail spaces and wellness studios, the Mitsubishi Ecodan R290 air source heat pump provides a high-performance solution designed with these environments in mind.
With the ability to deliver high water flow temperatures of up to 75°C, the Ecodan R290 combines the familiarity of traditional heating systems with the innovation and sustainability of modern heat pump technology.
Game-Changing Technology for Traditional Heating Boiler and Hot Water System Replacement
The Mitsubishi Ecodan R290 represents a genuine breakthrough for organisations seeking to move away from fossil fuel-based heating. With its ability to match the performance of conventional boilers, this system provides a seamless transition to a low-carbon future—without compromising on heat output or reliability.
At the heart of this performance is R290 (propane) – a natural refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3. Its properties enable the system to achieve high flow temperatures, making it a standout option for replacing traditional systems in both existing and new-build properties.
Key Features and Benefits
1. High Flow Temperature up to 75°C
One of the Ecodan R290’s most significant advantages is its ability to produce water temperatures of up to 75°C, making it a viable replacement for traditional gas or oil boilers. This high output temperature ensures compatibility with existing radiator systems and supports robust hot water production – particularly important in clinical or hygiene-sensitive environments.
2. Reliable Operation in Cold Climates
The system has been engineered to perform effectively even in harsh winter conditions, with guaranteed operation down to -25°C ambient temperature. This reliability ensures year-round comfort and uninterrupted service for your premises.
3. Versatile Applications
From underfloor heating and radiators to domestic hot water systems, the Ecodan R290 is suited to a wide range of applications. It is particularly effective in mixed-use or specialist environments where consistent, high-temperature heating is critical.
4. Energy Efficiency and Cost Reduction
By leveraging the high thermal efficiency of R290 and Mitsubishi’s advanced heat pump technology, the system offers notable reductions in energy consumption compared to conventional fossil fuel systems. This supports both cost savings and a lower carbon footprint.
5. Quiet and Compact Design
Designed with urban and professional environments in mind, the Ecodan R290 features a discreet, low-noise operation and a space-saving outdoor unit – ideal for installations where external space is at a premium.
Perfectly Suited to Small Commercial Spaces
The Mitsubishi Ecodan R290 is an ideal choice for:
• Office spaces and consulting rooms
• Dental and medical practices
• Veterinary clinics
• Boutique retail outlets
• Beauty salons and wellness studios
Its combination of high output, efficiency, and compact design makes it particularly well-suited to retrofits and energy upgrades within existing buildings, as well as in new developments requiring low-carbon compliance.
