Aegis A
- Domestic hot water up to 170°F
- CO2 Air Source Heat Pump
- Natural refrigerant R744 with low GWP
Lync’s Aegis A is a powerful commercial CO2 heat pump water heater powered by R744, better known as refrigerant grade CO2. Aegis A produces hot water up to 170°F at air temperatures as low as -4°F with no need for supplemental heat. By simply absorbing and moving heat from the surrounding area instead of needing to generate heat, this heat pump is extremely efficient thus saving energy and lowering operating costs.
Because it uses a natural refrigerant CO2, Aegis A is a safe, environmentally friendly heat pump water heater: R744 is non-toxic, non-flammable, has an ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) of zero and a low GWP (Global Warming Potential) of one. R744 outperforms other refrigerants, like R134a and R410a, by having a much lower GWP (1.0 vs 1430 and 2088 respectively) and a wider range of ambient operating temperatures, making Lync’s Aegis A heat pump a better, longer-lasting option as more states introduce stricter environmental guidelines.
Features and Benefits

Environmentally Friendly Technology
- Eco-friendly refrigerant R744 (i.e., CO2) has an ODP of 0 and low GWP of 1
- Non-toxic and non-flammable
- Natural CO2 R744 provides long-lasting refrigerant option to increasingly stringent environmental guidelines
Energy Saving
- Energy efficient with lower operating costs – provides heat by absorbing and moving heat from the surrounding area instead of generating supplemental heat
- Lower peak energy demands and peak use and can lead to additional electricity savings
Additional Features
- Cool recovery option provides simultaneous production of cold water along with hot water, further increasing COP
- The heat pump can be remotely controlled through the building automation system (BAS) allowing users to check the status of the unit real time, record operational data, check for faults with alarms and warnings, change set point and operating modes and much more
- Fan coil coating available for coastal areas
- Advanced defrost cycle with electric coil eliminates the need to reverse operation to defrost
