R290 Heating And Cooling Heat Pump

Blueway R290 Heating And Cooling Heat Pump is an inverter air-to-water heat pump designed to provide space heating, cooling, and domestic hot water from one system. Manufactured in Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong, Blueway has focused on HVAC manufacturing and integrated energy-saving solutions since 1993. The product series includes split and monoblock configurations, with low-ambient models designed for stable operation at outdoor temperatures down to -35°C. Depending on the model and configuration, the system can also work with solar systems, boilers, or electric heaters.

Heating and Cooling in One System

The system is designed for year-round temperature control rather than heating alone. Five operating modes are available on applicable models: heating only, heating and DHW, cooling only, cooling and hot water, and DHW only. This configuration allows one heat pump system to cover different household or small-site requirements throughout the year.

DC inverter technology adjusts the operating output according to the actual heating or cooling demand, helping maintain more stable water temperatures while avoiding unnecessary full-load operation. For low-ambient models, the extended operating range down to -35°C provides an option for cold-climate applications.

Efficient Performance for Year-Round Operation

Blueway R290 Heating And Cooling Heat Pump uses DC inverter technology for variable-capacity operation. Depending on the model, the system can use an inverter rotary or scroll compressor, a DC water pump, and a high-efficiency plate heat exchanger to support heat transfer performance.

• DC inverter technology for more accurate temperature control
• High-efficiency compressor with reduced mechanical moving parts
• High thermal efficiency plate heat exchanger
• Energy-saving water pump with constant-volume or pressure-adjustment options
• Optional Wi-Fi control for remote operation
• Some models have achieved ErP A++ ratings through TÜV certification

The actual heating and cooling efficiency depends on model selection, outdoor conditions, water temperature, and operating settings. Technical performance should therefore be evaluated against the specific project requirements rather than using a single efficiency value for the entire series.

Applications

The R290 Heating And Cooling Heat Pump is intended for applications where heating, cooling, and domestic hot water are required within the same building or site. Typical applications include:

• Private houses and villas
• Apartment buildings
• Small commercial facilities
• Small industrial sites
• Residential heating and cooling systems
• Domestic hot water systems
• Projects combining heat pumps with boilers or solar heating

For cold-climate projects, the low-ambient configuration can be considered where outdoor temperatures may fall significantly below freezing. System selection should take into account the required heating capacity, design outdoor temperature, water temperature, and building heat load.

System Integration and Installation Considerations

Blueway offers both split and monoblock configurations to accommodate different installation requirements. The split design keeps the water system inside the building, reducing the risk of outdoor water-side freezing. Its outdoor unit is designed with anti-snow considerations, while the indoor unit can be integrated into heating systems that traditionally use boilers.

The monoblock configuration integrates the main heat pump components into one outdoor unit, providing a compact solution that can reduce installation space and installation work. Depending on the model, a built-in water pump, expansion tank, and electric heater can be selected.

Before installation, the following factors should be checked:

• Required heating and cooling capacity
• Design outdoor temperature
• Required supply and return water temperatures
• Available electrical supply
• Water-system configuration
• Required domestic hot water capacity
• Installation space and service clearance
• Compatibility with existing boilers, solar systems, or electric heaters
• Control and remote-monitoring requirements

Technical Specifications

Refrigerant type, compressor specification, water pump configuration, heating capacity, and other technical parameters vary by model. Buyers should confirm the final configuration and performance data with Blueway before ordering.

Quality Control and Manufacturing Process

Blueway has been engaged in HVAC manufacturing since 1993, with its manufacturing center located in Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong, China. The company combines product development, manufacturing, testing, and technical support within its HVAC operation.

Key components are selected according to the requirements of each model, including compressors, plate heat exchangers, water pumps, inverter systems, and control components. The controller incorporates protection and self-diagnosis functions to monitor operating conditions and help identify system faults.

Blueway reports more than 1,000 original R&D products and over 10,000 engineering solutions delivered for different applications. Its product development and engineering experience covers residential, commercial, and specialized HVAC requirements.

How to Select the Right R290 Heat Pump

Choosing a heat pump like R290 Heating And Cooling Heat Pump should start with the building and system requirements rather than the nominal capacity alone. The following factors are particularly important for project selection:

1. Heating load: Calculate the building's required heating capacity under the local design outdoor temperature.
2. Cooling load: Check whether the cooling requirement differs substantially from the heating requirement.
3. Climate: For cold regions, select a low-ambient model with an appropriate operating range.
4. Water temperature: Confirm the required supply-water temperature for radiators, underfloor heating, fan coils, or other terminals.
5. DHW demand: Estimate hot-water consumption if domestic hot water is required.
6. System configuration: Choose between split and monoblock according to installation conditions and freeze-protection requirements.
7. Refrigerant: Confirm whether R290 is required for the project and select a model specifically configured for it.
8. Control requirements: Consider LCD control, Wi-Fi monitoring, and integration with existing heating equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the heating capacity of the EDHP-16S model?

EDHP-16S is one of Blueway's hot-selling models in the European market and can provide up to 18 kW of heating capacity. The actual capacity depends on operating conditions and the selected configuration.

Can the system provide both heating and domestic hot water?

Yes. Applicable models support heating and DHW operation. Other available operating modes include heating only, cooling only, cooling and hot water, and DHW only.

What refrigerants are available?

Refrigerant availability depends on the model and configuration. Blueway offers R290, R32, and R410A options across different product configurations. Buyers should confirm the exact refrigerant specification for the selected model before ordering.

Can the R290 Heating And Cooling Heat Pump operate in very cold weather?

Selected low-ambient models are designed to operate at outdoor temperatures down to -35°C. The suitable model should be selected according to the project's design temperature and required heating capacity.

Can the system work with a boiler or solar heating system?

Yes. Depending on the project configuration, the heat pump can work together with a solar system, boiler, or electric heater. The control and hydraulic arrangement should be designed according to the existing heating system.

Is a sample order available?

One unit is generally acceptable for a sample order. The unit price may be higher than a container-order quotation because of the different order volume.
