The Samsung EHS Mono R290 is a monobloc air source heat pump designed to provide heating, cooling, and domestic hot water for residential and commercial applications, suitable for both new builds and renovations. It uses R290 refrigerant with a GWP = 3, offering a climate-friendly alternative to traditional refrigerants.
Why Choose the EHS Mono R290
- R290 Refrigerant (GWP 3): compliant with evolving European F-gas regulations.
- Monobloc Design: refrigeration circuit integrated in the outdoor unit, simplifying indoor hydraulic installation.
- Compact and Stylish: dark grey finish and architectural integration for outdoor spaces.
High Flow Temperature for Renovations
Designed for boiler replacement projects and homes with high-temperature emitters, this range features design improvements to maintain stable thermal output:
- Up to 75 ºC water outlet temperature for heating (depending on operating conditions).
- Domestic hot water up to 70 ºC with outdoor temperatures as low as -10 ºC without the need for an electric backup heater (depending on conditions).
- Enlarged heat exchanger (up to 39.6% increased surface area) for improved thermal exchange.
- Reinforced compressor, designed to operate at higher pressures for greater reliability and efficiency.
Optimized Installation and Maintenance
The outdoor unit is designed to make the installer’s job easier, with quick access to internal components via the side panel, which can be removed by loosening three screws, reducing commissioning and maintenance times.
Quiet Operation
Features noise reduction technologies for comfortable use in residential environments:
- 4-step Silent Mode, with very low sound pressure levels.
- Double-layer acoustic insulation and grille-type design to help block and absorb compressor noise and vibrations.
Safety and R290-Specific Design
By using R290, the unit includes adaptations to enhance operational safety and separate the refrigerant from the rest of the system:
- Leak prevention: pipe layout reduces stress and minimizes risks.
- Detection: pressure sensor to detect refrigerant presence in the water circuit.
- Evacuation: forced fan mode to keep the interior within safety limits and air separator in the outlet pipe.
- Ignition prevention: potential sources are sealed and located at the top of the unit.
Connectivity and Energy Management
- SmartThings Energy: real-time consumption monitoring and energy-saving modes to optimize usage.
- EHS Cloud Service: remote diagnostics and fault assessment compatibility, providing useful technical information for professionals (status, errors, and consumption).
Recommended Applications
Ideal solution for:
- Renovations and boiler replacement (radiators or systems requiring high water temperature).
- Homes and small commercial spaces needing heating, cooling, and domestic hot water.
- Installations seeking low environmental impact refrigerant and low noise levels.
Indicative Coverage by Thermal Load
The required capacity depends on insulation, climate zone, ventilation, and building inertia. As a general reference (to be confirmed by load calculation):
- 30–40 W/m²: approx. 100–130 m² (well insulated)
- 50–60 W/m²: approx. 65–80 m² (average insulation)
- 80–100 W/m²: approx. 40–50 m² (poor insulation)
Note: Indicative values; for correct sizing, perform a thermal load calculation and review design conditions.
