Hydrocarbon Refrigeration Systems
Eco-friendly and energy-efficient refrigeration solutions for modern businesses.
Green Cooling’s hydrocarbon refrigeration systems offer a high-performance, sustainable alternative to traditional fluorocarbon-based cooling. With the launch of our ECO-Integra range, we are supporting businesses in their transition to low-impact, energy-efficient refrigeration technologies. Refrigerants like R290 (propane) are non-toxic, non-ozone-depleting, and have a Global Warming Potential (GWP) below 5. In addition to helping companies meet environmental targets, these systems can deliver up to 25% energy savings compared to conventional HFC-based solutions.
What Are Hydrocarbon Refrigeration Systems?
Hydrocarbon systems use natural refrigerants such as R290 to reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, and extend equipment lifespan. They’re ideal for businesses seeking cost-effective, BREEAM-compliant refrigeration that aligns with modern sustainability goals.
Benefits of Hydrocarbon Refrigeration Systems
Eco-Friendly: Natural refrigerants with GWP <5 and zero ozone depletion.
Energy-Saving: Up to 25% lower energy use than traditional systems.
Durable & Low Maintenance: Reduced compressor wear extends operational life.
BREEAM Compliant: Suitable for sustainable buildings with no HFCs.
Flexible Design: Available in air-cooled or water-cooled formats.
Our Hydrocarbon Solutions Feature
Green Cooling’s hydrocarbon refrigeration systems include the following features:
ECO-Integra Range
Revolutionary systems designed for sustainability and efficiency. Ceiling or wall-mounted configurations for easy installation.
Advanced Insulation
PIR panels with pentane-free blowing agents. No NOx emissions. LPC-approved.
Integrated Leak Detection
Built-in safety systems for ongoing regulatory compliance.
Low-Energy LED Lighting
Reduces energy consumption while improving internal cabinet visibility.
Custom Cooling Options
Water-cooled or air-cooled systems to match your site requirements.
A2L Refrigerant Systems
A future-ready solution for larger-scale or temperature-critical applications.
Alongside our hydrocarbon offering, Green Cooling also provides systems that use R454C, an A2L-class refrigerant developed for high-performance cooling with a significantly lower environmental footprint than HFCs.
R454C is a mildly flammable refrigerant blend with a GWP of just 146, making it ideal for businesses preparing for the future of refrigerant regulation. It offers excellent thermodynamic performance, comparable to R404A, but with a drastically reduced environmental impact.
Benefits of R454C Refrigerant Systems
Low GWP: Just 146 – a 95% reduction compared to R404A (GWP 3922).
Energy Efficient: Strong performance in medium- and low-temperature applications.
Regulation-Ready: Fully compliant with current and upcoming F-Gas legislation.
Safe by Design: A2L classification allows for controlled, safe usage with correct system design.
Versatile: Suitable for both integral and remote refrigeration solutions.
Which Solution Is Right for You?
At Green Cooling, we offer both R290 hydrocarbon systems and R454C A2L systems to give clients the flexibility to choose what works best for their environment, footprint, and sustainability targets.
