Engineering a Cleaner Tomorrow with Invisible Ambient Energy.
Water heating accounts for over 18% of global building electricity consumption. By harvesting free thermodynamic calories from ambient air and utilizing ultra-low GWP R290 eco-propane, KNAPS Techfab eliminates up to 80% of heating electricity demand and millions of tons of coal emissions.
Replaces conventional electric resistance elements with COP 3.90 thermodynamic heat transfer.
Compared to R410A (GWP 2,088), KNAPS cuts refrigerant climate impact by 99.85% with zero ozone depletion.
Equivalent to planting 190 mature trees per year for a single commercial 300L installation.
How KNAPS Technology Protects Our Planet
Natural R290 Eco-Propane Refrigerant
Traditional heating systems and legacy heat pumps rely on synthetic fluorinated greenhouse gases like R134a and R410A. KNAPS pioneered pure natural R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant in India, offering an ultra-low Global Warming Potential of just 3 and Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP 0).
- Exempt from future European F-Gas and Kigali Amendment bans
- Hermetically sealed monobloc circuit prevents refrigerant leakage
Thermodynamic COP 3.90 Efficiency
Electric geysers and boilers operate at a maximum coefficient of performance (COP) of 0.90 to 0.98. KNAPS captures low-grade thermal energy from ambient air and concentrates it to heat water up to 75°C, producing up to 3.90 kW of heat for every 1.0 kW of electric power supplied.
- Reduces grid load during peak morning hours
- Can run 100% on residential and commercial rooftop solar arrays
Circular Metallurgy & 15-Year Life Cycle
Cheap water heaters fail every 3–4 years, creating massive metal landfill waste. KNAPS engineers Titanium Vitreous Enamel tanks fired at 850°C and tested through 400,000 pressure pulse cycles. Over 96% of the materials used in every KNAPS system are fully recyclable.
- Zero toxic heavy metals or chemical leaching
- High-density cyclopentane insulation with zero fluorocarbons
Green Building Certification Points
Installing KNAPS Heat Pumps directly qualifies developers and architects for critical points under prestigious environmental frameworks including IGBC (Indian Green Building Council), LEED India, and GRIHA, accelerating green rating accreditations for commercial properties.
- Contributes to Energy & Atmosphere (EA) Credit Points
- Full compliance with CE, ISO 9001:2015, and RoHS directives
