R290 (propane) has a global warming potential (GWP) of about <strong>3<\/strong> &ndash; a fraction of R32&rsquo;s (GWP around 675).

class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to available information, the new edition brings more than just a different refrigerant. Reports mention an acoustically re-engineered fan assembly for quieter operation, a simplified window bracket for faster installation, and an updated microprocessor platform for the app features. Because propane is flammable, stricter safety requirements apply to construction and certification &ndash; Midea itself calls the switch a complex process that can make development more expensive. The already available &bdquo;PortaSplit Cool&ldquo; (around 3.5 kW \/ 12,000 BTU, efficiency class A++) partly ships with R290 already.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Availability and price<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many buyers the real news is the hope of better availability: the PortaSplit has repeatedly been sold out or only available at a premium. Depending on model and retailer, the current generation roughly ranges between about 780 and over 1,000 euros.
