Drunken Elephant Camp Maasai mara

This project involves the complete delivery of an R290 All-in-One Heat Pump system to provide an efficient, eco-friendly, and reliable hot water solution for hospitality operations at Drunken Elephant Camp in Maasai Mara.

1. Site Survey & Needs Assessment
The project begins with a detailed on-site evaluation to understand the camp’s specific requirements and environmental conditions.

Key activities include:
Assessing hot water demand for guest tents, kitchens, and service areas
Evaluating existing plumbing and electrical infrastructure
Identifying optimal installation points considering space, ventilation, and accessibility
Reviewing environmental factors such as remote location, temperature variations, and sustainability requirements

Outcome: A customized system design tailored to the camp’s operational and environmental needs.

2. Supply of R290 All-in-One Heat Pump System
Based on the survey, a complete R290 (propane refrigerant) All-in-One Heat Pump is supplied, designed for high efficiency and minimal environmental impact.

System components include:
Integrated heat pump unit with built-in water storage tank
High-performance compressor and heat exchange system
Smart control panel with safety features

Necessary accessories including piping, valves, and fittings

Advantages of R290 System:
Environmentally friendly refrigerant with low global warming potential
High energy efficiency, reducing operational costs
