Ideal HP290 Air Source Heat Pump

Ideal HP290 Air Source Heat Pump

The Ideal HP290 Air Source Heat Pump is a high-performance heating solution designed to provide efficient, reliable heating while using lower-carbon R290 refrigerant. Available in 6kW and 14kW power ratings, the HP290 range offers flexibility for different property sizes and heating requirements. With flow temperatures of up to 75°C, the HP290 provides a high-temperature heating solution that can be suitable for a wide range of heating and hot water applications. When combined with compatible pre-plumbed cylinders and the HP290 control box, the system is designed to maintain Ideal's easy-to-install approach, backed by dedicated product support.

Highly Efficient Performance

The Ideal HP290 is designed with efficiency in mind, achieving a seasonal coefficient of performance (SCOP) of over 500%. This means the heat pump is designed to deliver a high level of seasonal heating efficiency, helping to reduce energy consumption and support lower running costs. Actual efficiency will depend on factors such as the property, system design, installation and operating conditions.

Available in 6kW and 14kW Options

The Ideal HP290 is available in two power ratings: 6kW and 14kW. Having different output options makes it easier to select a heat pump that is appropriately sized for the heating demands of the property. Choosing the correct output is important for achieving efficient and comfortable heating, so the heat pump should be sized according to the property's heat loss and overall system requirements.

Low-Carbon R290 Refrigerant

The HP290 uses R290 refrigerant, a natural refrigerant with a low global warming potential. This gives the heat pump strong environmental credentials while supporting the transition towards lower-carbon heating solutions. R290 technology also allows the HP290 to achieve high flow temperatures, providing greater flexibility for compatible heating system designs.

High Temperature Heating

With flow temperatures of up to 75°C, the HP290 is designed to provide high-temperature heating for properties and systems that require higher water temperatures. This capability makes the HP290 a versatile option for appropriately designed heating and hot water systems, while the system's smart controls help manage its operation according to the heating requirements.

Smart Weather Compensation

The HP290 features intuitive smart weather-compensating controls that allow the heating system to respond to changes in outdoor conditions. By taking the external temperature into account, the system can adjust its operation to better match the heating demands of the property. The heat pump is also compatible with smart grid technology and solar PV, making it suitable for integration with wider energy-management solutions.

Designed for Straightforward Installation

When paired with compatible pre-plumbed cylinders and the HP290 control box, the Ideal HP290 is designed to support a straightforward installation process. Having compatible components designed to work together can make system planning and installation easier for heating professionals. Ideal also provides product support to assist installers with the system, helping provide additional confidence throughout installation and operation.
