R290 is a natural propane-based refrigerant that is characterised by its high energy efficiency and low environmental impact. With a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3, R290 is virtually climate-neutral. Equipped with R290, our products set new standards in environmentally friendly cooling and heating technology - immediately available and versatile.

R290 has a low boiling temperature - it vaporises even at very low outside temperatures. This means that even in winter, sufficient ambient heat can still be utilised for the heat pump to work efficiently.
With REMKO CheckServ, we offer you a reliable and efficient service. Whether for commissioning, maintenance or during operation - with CheckServ you are on the safe side.
Unlike synthetic refrigerants such as R410A or R134a, R290 contains no fluorinated gases (F-gases) and has an extremely low global warming potential. It makes virtually no contribution to global warming.
R290 is flammable and belongs to safety class A3. However, when properly planned, installed and maintained by specialised companies, systems with R290 are considered safe and are used in commercial and private applications worldwide.
Yes. R290 already fulfils the requirements of the EU F-Gas Regulation and is therefore future-proof. While many synthetic refrigerants are gradually being banned, R290 remains authorised and eligible for subsidies due to its environmental compatibility.
R290 is mainly used in the following areas:
As R290 is flammable, special safety regulations apply (e.g. explosion protection, room ventilation, maximum filling quantities). Installation must be carried out by certified specialist companies that are experienced in handling refrigerants in safety class A3.
Yes, R290 has excellent thermodynamic properties. It enables high energy efficiency, which translates into lower operating costs and lower power consumption compared to many synthetic alternatives.
