Propane, a hydrocarbon gas consisting of 3 carbon atoms and 8 hydrogen atoms (C3H8)
As industries strive for greater sustainability, the focus is shifting towards innovative refrigeration solutions that will minimize their carbon footprints. With the adoption of propane as a refrigerant, businesses can achieve their cooling requirements while contributing significantly to a cleaner and more sustainable world.
Unlike ammonia, propane is non-toxic, which is safer option in urban settings where human exposure is a risk. It has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 3 and an Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) of 0, compared to carbon dioxide (CO2), which has a GWP of 1 and an ODP of 0, and ammonia, which has both a GWP and ODP of 0. Propane is a highly efficient refrigerant with an excellent operating range that enable it to be low-charge and keep energy costs down, making it an indispensable component in the journey towards environmental responsibility.
