ULTI+ R290 EX / New!

Air treatment Heat pump Rooftop

Fully compliant with the ErP 2021 directive, the ULTI+ R290 EX , the ULTI+ R290 EX is composed of the single-flow packaged unit ULTI+ R290 with an added extraction module converting it into a double-flow system.
This unit is recommended for precise management of overpressure in airtight rooms.

The EU Regulation 2024/573 (also known as F-Gas III) mandates the progressive phase-out of Fluorinated Greenhouse Gases, culminating in a total ban by 2050.
Accordingly, from the following dates, the installation of new rooftop units using refrigerants with a GWP
< 150 will be prohibited:
• 2027 for units ≤ 50 kW
• 2030 for units > 50 kW

To anticipate these regulatory changes, ETT has upgraded its ULTIMA Green Line rooftop range to use an ultra-low GWP refrigerant.

The ULTI+ R290 is a propane-based rooftop unit, using a natural, non-fluorinated refrigerant with an almost negligible GWP of 0.02. This makes it a future-proof technology in the air-to-air heat pump segment, as it is fully exempt from the upcoming regulatory tightening.

Description

The ULTI+ R290 EX belongs to the ULTIMA Green Line range, a modular range of next-generation rooftops from ETT. It combines quality materials, performance, energy savings, acoustics, regulation and new-generation connected components to ensure that the units operate at optimum efficiency at all times.

Thanks to its full aluminium structure (frame & casing) that ensures an excellent corrosion protection, this air conditioning and heating system is covered by a 20-year guarantee against corrosion (frame and casing).

This double flow rooftop heat pump is delivered ready to operate. A separate technical compartment facilitates unit control and maintenance and allows measurement and adjustment during operation.

The ULTI+ R290 EX is designed to provide precise regulation, adapting the rotational speeds of the power stages, for optimum, continuous energy performance throughout its years of operation.

Backed by a standard 5-year warranty, this Rooftop unit comes with the full range of ETT services: Commissioning, Audits, Service contracts etc.
