The Samsung EHS Mono R290 in the 8 kW single-phase version is a monobloc air source heat pump solution for heating, cooling, and domestic hot water production, designed for homes and small commercial spaces, suitable for both new builds and renovations.
It uses R290 refrigerant with a GWP = 3, an alternative with very low climate impact and aligned with evolving European regulations on fluorinated gases. Its monobloc format integrates the refrigeration circuit into the outdoor unit, simplifying the indoor hydraulic installation.
High temperature for retrofit projects
Especially suitable for replacing boilers in homes with conventional radiators that require high flow temperatures.
- Heating outlet temperature: up to 75 ºC.
- Domestic hot water: up to 70 ºC with outdoor temperatures down to -10 ºC without electric backup (depending on conditions).
- Enlarged heat exchanger (up to +39.6% surface area) for improved thermal transfer.
- Reinforced compressor for higher pressure operation, enhancing reliability and efficiency.
Quiet operation for residential environments
- 4-step Silent Mode, with minimum sound pressure levels of 35 dB(A).
- Double-layer acoustic insulation and grille-type design help reduce compressor vibration and noise.
Compact design and dimensions
The 5 and 8 kW versions feature a reduced height for easy integration in residential outdoor spaces.
- Height: 850 mm.
- Finish: dark grey with black slanted grilles for architectural integration.
Specific safety for R290
The unit incorporates technical adaptations for working with R290 refrigerant:
- Piping design to minimize leak risk.
- Pressure sensor for refrigerant detection in the water circuit.
- Forced fan mode and air separator in case of leakage.
- Potential ignition sources sealed and located at the top of the unit.
Simplified installation and maintenance
Quick access to internal components via a removable side panel with three screws, reducing commissioning and service times.
Connectivity and energy control
- SmartThings Energy: real-time consumption monitoring and energy-saving modes.
- EHS Cloud Service: remote diagnostics for professionals with access to error reports, equipment status, and consumption data.
Indicative coverage according to thermal load
The climatizable area depends on the actual thermal load of the building. As a reference (to be confirmed by load calculation):
- 30–40 W/m²: approx. 160–210 m² (well insulated)
- 50–60 W/m²: approx. 130–160 m² (medium insulation)
- 80–100 W/m²: approx. 80–100 m² (poor insulation)
Note: Indicative values that must be validated by a thermal study of the project.
