Petra launches R290 Chilled Water Package Units

R290 has a GWP of 3, making it a most promising candidate for sustainable refrigeration in the future. The product series meets the efficiency requirements of Eco Design Directive (ERP) 2018.  

Being rated as an A3 refrigerant, R290 units need to comply with safety specifications in accordance with EN 378 and the international ISO 5149 standards.  Petra has ensured that the new range of R290 Chilled Water Package Units meets all safety requirements as demanded by the relevant safety standards.  

By integrating both the Chiller, with the refrigerant-tight circuit, and an Air Handling Unit, Petra’s Chilled Water Package Unit eliminates the risk of refrigerant ingress into an occupied space.

Petra R&D department will continue to develop a more extensive range of HVAC systems which work on low GWP R290 refrigerant and we will make further announcements about new product development during 2020.

The new R290 Chilled Water Package Unit will be on display at Mostra Convegno Exhibition, Milan in March 2020, Hall 22, Stand C32 C42.
