Propane (R290) Chillers
The Green, Low GWP Refrigerant
Propane R290 is a versatile green refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential of only '3'. Propane has an operational envelopment suitable for medium-low temperature refrigeration to traditional air conditioning applications, which presents R290 as a good environmentally friendly alterative to R404a in many low temperature applications.
Cooltherm and Geoclima have been providing R290 chillers for over a decade, with a proven track record for reliability and performance. R290 is a flammable refrigerant but when applied correctly using the latest technology and leak detection systems poses no more risk than a conventional refrigerant, but at a fraction of the GWP.
What are your compressor choices?
With Propane R290 the choices of compressor are:
- Reciprocating
- Screw
With reciprocating being applied to small capacities and screw and inverter screw compressors being applied to capacity’s from 70kW up to 2mW.
