The SkillSafe project aims to enhance safety measures for R290, a propane-based refrigerant, focusing on guidelines for installers and consumers handling it.
David Hilton articulates a practical comparison, pointing out that while a heat pump holds a small amount of propane, using much larger propane tanks is commonplace in caravan parks.
Hilton discusses the unique challenge of R290, noting its lack of smell due to the absence of impurities, making leak detection crucial for safety.
The SkillSafe project, supported by the EU and European Heat Pump Association, aims to balance R290's benefits with necessary safety measures for its home use.
