Sustainable Hot Water Solutions with R290 All-in-One Heat Pump

Oct. 16, 2025

As the world accelerates toward low-carbon and energy-efficient lifestyles, the R290 All-in-One Heat Pump Water Heater is becoming a benchmark solution in both residential and commercial sectors. Forlssman’s latest series integrates cutting-edge R290 refrigerant technology with an intelligent all-in-one structure—delivering stable hot water, optimized energy performance, and environmental sustainability.


What Makes R290 the Ideal Refrigerant


The R290 (propane) refrigerant is recognized for its excellent thermodynamic efficiency and low environmental impact. Compared to conventional refrigerants like R134a or R410A, R290 has an ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP < 3) and superior heat exchange properties.


This allows the system to achieve higher Coefficient of Performance (COP)—typically between 3.5 and 4.5—resulting in up to 75% energy savings compared with electric water heaters or gas boilers.

Compact All-in-One Design for Flexible Installation


Unlike traditional systems requiring separate tanks or external compressors, Forlssman’s All-in-One Heat Pump integrates every major component—compressor, condenser, evaporator, and water tank—within one unit.


This structure offers several practical benefits:

  • Ease of installation: No external refrigerant piping required, reducing labor time.

  • Space optimization: Ideal for small households, apartments, or retrofit projects.

  • Reduced heat loss: Internal circulation keeps heat efficiency high and consistent.

  • Low noise operation: The acoustic insulation design ensures quiet performance.


For homeowners or facility managers, the result is a system that installs quickly, operates efficiently, and requires minimal maintenance.


Diverse Applications Across Residential and Commercial Markets


The R290 All-in-One Heat Pump is engineered to meet the demands of various usage environments.


1. Residential Homes & Apartments

For households, this system provides continuous hot water for bathing, kitchen use, and laundry—all while reducing energy costs by up to 70%. The integrated design fits easily in garages, balconies, or utility rooms, making it suitable for both new constructions and existing home upgrades.


2. Hotels & Hospitality Facilities

In hotels and resorts where hot water demand is high and continuous, R290 units deliver stable output and fast recovery times. The intelligent control system maintains consistent water temperature even during peak hours, ensuring guest comfort while lowering operational expenses.

3. Hospitals, Clinics & Care Centers

Medical and care facilities require reliable and hygienic hot water supply for cleaning, sterilization, and daily operations. The R290 All-in-One Heat Pump’s closed-loop heating ensures sanitary conditions with minimal bacterial growth, aligning with hygiene standards required by healthcare institutions.


4. Schools, Dormitories & Public Buildings

In campuses and dormitories, the system’s high-efficiency heating and centralized control make it a practical choice for managing large-volume hot water consumption without excessive energy load.


5. Commercial Offices & Retail Spaces

In commercial buildings, integrating R290 heat pumps into the facility’s water system can significantly reduce carbon footprint and qualify for green building certifications under programs like LEED and BREEAM.


Designed for Regional Climate Adaptation


Forlssman engineers have developed two optimized configurations for different markets:


  • Side Ventilation Model – Designed for Australia: Tailored for warmer regions, this version provides strong airflow circulation and prevents heat accumulation, ensuring efficient operation in high ambient temperatures. Ideal for detached houses, coastal buildings, and multi-unit apartments.

  • Top Discharge Model – Designed for Europe: This version enhances vertical airflow, maximizing heat exchange in cooler climates. It performs exceptionally in basements, utility rooms, or areas with limited horizontal ventilation—perfect for northern Europe and regions with long winters.


Sustainability and Cost Efficiency


Switching to R290 All-in-One Heat Pump Water Heaters contributes directly to reducing carbon emissions and achieving energy independence. The system’s intelligent controller adjusts compressor speed based on real-time demand, minimizing waste and extending product lifespan.


In most cases, users experience a return on investment within 2–4 years, driven by energy bill savings and potential government incentives for renewable technologies.
