BELGIUM: Trane has announced the introduction of Leaf – a new generation of air-to-water heat pumps using R290 (propane) refrigerant.

Delivering heating and cooling capacities from 8-30kW, Trane LEAF operates optimally down to -20°C outdoor air. It is said to be able to deliver hot water at +75°C even at 0°C outdoor air and +60°C at -15°C ambient temperature, making it an ideal solution for replacing gas boilers in light commercial and residential buildings.
