Hitachi Cooling & Heating launches next-generation airH2O R290 and R32 Heat Pumps, setting a new benchmark in sustainability, safety, and comfort.
R290: the sustainable choice for a greener future
The newly introduced airH2O 800 series run on the eco-friendly R290 refrigerant.
R290 (propane) is a natural refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 0,02 in last GIEC report, making it one of the most climate-friendly options currently available. In line with evolving EU F-Gas regulations, this choice reduces environmental impact while maintaining exceptional performance.
“This is not just a new product – it’s the beginning of a new era in our air-to-water heat pump portfolio,” said David Bioche, EMEA Marketing & Product Management Director Hitachi Cooling & Heating.
One of the most silent heat pumps on the market
With a sleek, modern design, these units are said to be crafted to blend effortlessly into any environment, while providing comfort for end-users. A feature of the airH2O range is its advanced noise reduction system. The outdoor units have been engineered with several enhancements to minimize acoustic impact, including:
- A vibration-absorbing structure to reduce mechanical noise
- An optimised fan and motor design for smoother, quieter operation
- And a dedicated silent mode, ideal for night time use or sound sensitive environments
These elements work together to offer discreet comfort, which is said to be barely noticeable yet always effective.
Revisiting the Bosch acquisition
BOSCH aims to expand its range of heating products, invest in future-oriented solutions, and strengthen its position as a key player in the HVAC industry worldwide This acquisition, expected to be finalized during the summer, opens new opportunities to accelerate the transition towards more sustainable and high-performance solutions and positions Bosch to move ahead in the growing market for energy-efficient HVAC solutions.
