Eco-Friendly Cooling with Propane (R290)
Refcool's natural refrigerant chillers utilize the power of propane to deliver industrial cooling with virtually zero environmental impact. As businesses strive for greater sustainability, natural refrigerants have become the gold standard for green cooling solutions.
Propane occurs naturally and have no meaningful global warming effect when released, unlike synthetic F-gases. Propane (R290) has a GWP of 3 , making them exceptionally climate-friendly choices. In addition, these refrigerants do not deplete the ozone layer.
By choosing a Propane chiller from Refcool, your company demonstrates a commitment to environmental responsibility while also benefiting from the high efficiency and proven performance these refrigerants offer. Natural refrigerant chillers are an excellent long-term investment – they are immune to future phase-outs under environmental regulations, ensuring your cooling system remains viable and compliant for decades to come.
Environmental Benefits
- Zero or near-zero Global Warming Potential (GWP)
- Zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP)
- Naturally occurring substances, not synthetic chemicals
- Future-proof against refrigerant phase-outs and regulations
- Reduced carbon footprint for your operations

High Efficiency, Industrial-Grade Performance
Beyond their green credentials Propane chillers deliver outstanding cooling performance in industrial applications
Propane is a highly efficient refrigerant with superior thermodynamic properties, which means propane -based chillers can often achieve greater cooling capacity per unit of energy consumed compared to traditional refrigerants.
- Ideal for large-scale industrial installations
- Perfect for breweries, food processing, and cold storage
- Comprehensive safety systems for secure operation
- Robust safety systems for high-pressure operation
