COOOL® R-290 Propane

COOOL® R-290 Propane

COOOL R290 is a natural refrigerant gas with multiple applications in fixed commercial refrigeration, especially in refrigerated/freezer counters with integrated unit, and for small refrigeration equipment such as vending machines and small domestic refrigerators.

The main characteristics are:
• High cooling capacity
• GWP - Global Warming Potential = 3
• ODP - Ozone Depletion Potential = 0
• Availability at a constant price

As R-290 is a pure HC hydrocarbon, it falls into the ASHRAE A3 safety category, among highly flammable products. Due to this specific characteristic, the reference standard allows limited charges in equipment using this technology, effectively imposing restrictions on the size of the equipment itself. The thermodynamic characteristics of this product make it highly suitable for use in plug-in systems at low and medium temperatures.
