Sunamp Thermino + Tongyi R290 Heat Pump:
Compact, Efficient, and Smarter Hot Water Storage

Unlock Maximum Efficiency from Your Tongyi Heat Pump with Thermino

Way back when

The Ultimate Duo for Energy-Efficient Comfort

When paired with Tongyi’s R290 air-to-water heat pump, the Sunamp Thermino heat battery creates a future-ready domestic hot water solution that is space-saving, energy-efficient, and maintenance-free.

Instead of relying on bulky hot water cylinders, the Thermino uses Plentigrade P58, a cutting-edge Phase Change Material (PCM) that stores and releases thermal energy with up to 4x the energy density of water. This enables fast, mains-pressure hot water with minimal heat loss and without occupying valuable home space.

PARTNERSHIPS

🔧 How It Works

The R290 heat pump charges the Thermino PCM unit by delivering heat at up to 65°C. The PCM melts, storing latent energy. When hot water is needed, the stored heat is released as the PCM solidifies—delivering instant hot water at 45–55°C, without the need for an immersion heater or traditional cylinder.

Space-Saving Solution

 Thermino is up to 4x smaller than traditional hot water tanks, freeing up valuable space. When combined with Tongyi’s compact R290 units, this setup is ideal for apartments, retrofits, or homes with limited installation space.

High Efficiency, All Year Round

 The Tongyi R290 air-to-water heat pump delivers top-class SCOP and COP values—with COP up to 5.33 at A7W35—while Thermino’s A+ energy rating ensures you can save up to 1000 kWh/year thanks to ultra-low standby losses.

Zero Maintenance System

Both the Thermino PCM unit and the R290 system require minimal ongoing maintenance. Thermino requires no mandatory annual inspections, and Tongyi’s smart diagnostics and remote control IoT system make servicing simpler and more transparent.

Reliable, Durable Technology

Thermino is tested for over 40,000 thermal cycles (50+ years equivalent), while Tongyi’s R290 system features inverter compressors, DC fan motors, and anti-corrosion coatings, ensuring long-term performance even in harsh climates.

Fast & Easy Installation

 The integration of push-fit brass connectors in Thermino and pre-plumbed modular connections in the Tongyi R290 models make setup swift and efficient—no venting, tundish, or overflow pipework required.

Sustainable & Eco-Friendly

The natural refrigerant R290 (GWP = 3) in Tongyi’s unit, combined with Thermino’s non-toxic PCM, results in a climate-conscious solution that’s fully recyclable and ideal for net-zero homes.
