The Drawbacks of Traditional HVAC Systems
Traditional HVAC installations use separate sources for heating and cooling to the AHU. As a result, rooftops across our cities are filled with complex HVAC system designs. These installations take up lots of unnecessary space and are expensive to supply and install.
Time consuming, expensive and complex to installaltion with many different contractors needed
External chillers and heat pumps create noise pollution to the surrounding areas
Less environmentally friendly.
With FläktGroup ReCooler Integrated Heat Pump, There is a Simpler Way
The ReCooler R32 heating/cooling unit is fully integrated in the eQ air handling unit. This integration delivers numerous benefits, principally; space and cost saving combined with lower running costs.
Reliable Indoor Climate for Every Season - From scorching summers to freezing winters, FläktGroup’s ReCooler ensures stable indoor comfort and outstanding energy efficiency.
In this video, Peter Hagman shares how the system combines heating, cooling and heat recovery in one integrated solution — reducing system complexity and minimising defrosting needs. Learn how Piteå Municipality uses ReCooler technology to secure safe and comfortable environments in elderly care homes, no matter the weather outside.
We use R32
The new ReCooler HP all-in-one solution with cooling, heating and ventilation; utilising PFAS free refrigerant R32 and with low GWP.
Good indoor air quality should not be at the expense of our environment.
We can proudly present that we have taken our responsibility.

FläktGroup is futureproofing HVAC design by adopting PFAS free, low GWP refrigerants and integrated cooling technology that meets today’s strict environmental regulations - FGas, and PFAS restrictions – and standards such as BREEAM,- while preparing for even tougher standards ahead.
Our ReCooler HP with R32 delivers lower leakage than a conventional system, lower CO₂ impact, and built in compliance features, and our roadmap toward R744 (CO₂) ensures long term sustainability, safety, and regulatory certainty for building designers and owners.
A Future Ready Refrigerant Roadmap (R32 to R744)
R32 is the best available technology today: efficient, PFAS free, compliant until 2033+, and widely supported. FläktGroup is actively developing R744 (CO₂) for future releases:
GWP of 1
Nontoxic, non-flammable
No PFAS, no future bans
Excellent performance with FläktGroup’s patented integrated design.
Result: Customers can adopt high efficiency solutions today with confidence that a zero impact future option is coming.
The table shown compares different refrigerants and how much of their chemical makeup consists of PFAS. PFAS are a group of fluorinated chemicals that are under regulatory scrutiny because they can be persistent in the environment.

Meeting BREEAM Requirements Easily
Designing for BREEAM doesn’t have to be complicated. As regulations tighten and carbon targets get tougher, integrated cooling solutions like the R32 ReCooler make it far simpler to the pollution impact of refrigerant leakage.
What makes FläktGroup’s integrated heating and cooling solution more sustainable?
Our ReCooler HP uses PFAS free, low GWP refrigerants, highly efficient heat pump technology and a factory sealed design that reduces leakage, energy use, and CO₂ emissions — all of which supports healthier indoor environments and a lower carbon footprint.
How does the ReCooler HP help meet new regulations like FGas, PFAS restrictions and helps secure BREEAM credits?
The system is fully compliant with FGas and future PFAS legislation and delivers BREEAM credits for the pollution impact of refrigerant thanks to its low GWP, low leakage rates, and built in leak detection. This allows buildings to secure two BREEAM credits without additional components.
Why is an integrated solution better than traditional split DX systems?
Traditional systems require sources of heating and cooling for the AHU previously from a boiler and chiller but now most commonly from expensive externally mounted heat pumps long pipe runs, space consuming rooftop equipment, and multiple contractors — making them noisy, complex and less efficient. ReCooler HP is compact, factory assembled and built inside the AHU, meaning easier installation, fewer leak points, lower running costs, and better aesthetics.
What are the benefits of using R32 as today’s refrigerant?
R32 is PFAS free, highly efficient, compliant until 2033+, and offers up to 70% lower GWP than older refrigerants like R410A. It also learns additional BREEAM credits and reduces long term regulatory risk.
How does the transition to CO₂ (R744) fit into FläktGroup’s future refrigerant roadmap?
R744 is our long-term vision: GWP of 1, nontoxic, non-flammable, PFAS free, and unrestricted by future regulations. With our patented integrated design, it will deliver high performance while offering the most sustainable cooling option available.
What kind of buildings benefit most from an integrated AHU with heating and cooling?
ReCooler HP is ideal to deliver tempered fresh air for any commercial building serviced by fan coils or ceiling cassettes, delivering:
High energy efficiency
Compact equipment footprint
Reliable indoor comfort
BREEAM or ESG driven sustainability performance
How does the integrated design reduce operating costs?
Because the cooling and heating system is built directly into the AHU, it uses less energy by removing the need for an energy consuming external condenser, minimises refrigerant loss, reduces maintenance visits, and avoids the costs associated with multiple external units or contractors. ReCooler also has the lowest specific fan power of any comparable product.
What makes the ReCooler HP easier to install and specify?
It’s a single, pre-engineered system — one supplier, one installer, one specification. No external condensers, no onsite refrigerant piping, no coordination between multiple trades, and far fewer installation risks or delays.
How does integrated heating and cooling help with space saving?
By combining ventilation, heating, and cooling into a single compact unit, the system frees up roof space, plant rooms, and external areas normally taken by traditional HVAC components.
How does FläktGroup ensure long-term regulatory confidence for building owners?
Our “R32 now, R744 next” strategy ensures compliance today while preparing for tomorrow’s sustainability regulations. Customers can invest confidently, knowing their system is protected against future bans, phaseouts, and environmental requirements.
