Vaillant, Fraunhofer ISE present residential heat pump with new safety concept
The novel heat pump system relies on a thermal sensor based on an adsorbent-coated sensor layout developed by Vaillant in cooperation with the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems (Fraunhofer ISE). This technology is reportedly effective in preventing propane from forming an ignitable mixture with air outside the device.
