Propane Chillers – Natural Refrigerant Alternative for Cooling

ICS Cool Energy offer a low carbon range of air cooled / water cooled propane chillers from 4.5kW to 633kW, with both screw and scroll compressor technology, covering a temperature range of -12°C to 20°C.

These chillers come with options for tank, pump, EC fans, inverter driven technology, shell & tube evaporators or integrated free cooling, as well as heat pump versions.

Propane (R290) is a 100% natural & odourless refrigerant (hydrocarbon) which is readily available in nature and has been used for over 140 years. It is non-toxic and offers fantastic thermodynamic characteristics, serving as the perfect low GWP substitute refrigerant to ammonia, CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs. From an energy perspective, it offers up to a 20% saving due to lower molecular mass and vapour pressure, whilst being compatible with copper and miscible with mineral oil.

ICS Cool Energy has been providing energy efficient & cost effective chillers for process applications for over thirty years, working across all industries and providing aftersales support with a nationwide network of service and rental engineers.
