The demand for smart, energy-efficient home heating solutions has grown rapidly, and Tongyi’s R290 air-to-water heat pump rises to meet these expectations with the latest IoT technology. Designed for seamless integration into smart homes, the R290 offers a suite of intelligent features aimed at enhancing user convenience, energy savings, and operational flexibility. Here, we explore the R290’s top smart capabilities and the value they bring to modern homes.
4. Cascade System Support: Scalable Heating Solutions for Larger Homes
For households with higher heating demands, the R290 offers the capability to connect up to 8 units in a cascade configuration, all managed through a single smart controller. This feature allows multiple units to work together, optimizing energy use by dividing the heating and domestic hot water (DHW) load among them. The cascade system can even be customized to assign different tasks to individual units—one can focus on heating while another heats the water—making it ideal for larger homes or properties with diverse heating needs.
5. Holiday Mode: Efficiency While You’re Away
With the R290’s holiday mode, homeowners can reduce energy consumption when they’re away for extended periods. This setting adjusts the heat pump’s output to minimal heating, preventing freezing in colder months while keeping energy costs low. Easily activated through the R290’s smart controller, holiday mode provides peace of mind and cost savings when the house is unoccupied.
6. Additional Heating Source (AHS) Support
In particularly cold climates, the R290’s Additional Heating Source (AHS) feature provides an extra layer of warmth. It allows integration with backup heating sources such as a tank booster heater, gas boiler, or solar thermal system. The heat pump can intelligently activate these auxiliary sources when necessary, ensuring a stable indoor temperature even in extreme weather.
Additionally, the R290’s system is equipped with a three-way valve that enables seamless switching between heating and DHW modes, making it adaptable to various household needs.
7. Dry-Up Function for Radiant Floor Systems
For homes with radiant floor systems, the R290 offers a dry-up feature to prevent moisture accumulation. Excess moisture can lead to mold and unpleasant odors, impacting both comfort and indoor air quality. The dry-up function activates periodically to remove excess moisture, maintaining a cleaner and healthier home environment.
Smart, Sustainable Heating Made Simple
With its comprehensive suite of IoT and smart home features, the R290 air-to-water heat pump sets a new standard in residential heating. From precise energy monitoring to adaptable climate controls and the added convenience of holiday mode, the R290 is designed to enhance comfort and efficiency for today’s eco-conscious homeowner.
