Jose Miguel Coberan investigated propane as an alternative in a water-to-water heat pump booster for sanitary hot water production. In comparison to CO₂, Corberan, on behalf of the Universitat Politècnica de València, noted that at different condensation temperatures, propane had an optimal for each temperature. Corberan also said the use of hydrocarbons in this application allows for lower charges and lower displacement compressors compared to R134a and R1234yf.
