Eco-friendly technology The most common refrigerants that have been used in the industry are HFCs(hydrofluorocarbons R-134a, R-404A), replacements for CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) which are harmful substances proven to deplete the ozone layer. HFC’s are not directly ozone-depleting but these strong greenhouse gases have been shown to have a negative impact on the environment, contributing to global warming up to 4,000 times more than CO2. These GWP refrigerants are listed among substances regulated by the Kyoto Protocol of 1992, and HFC substances such as R-134a and R-404A will be banned by new U.S government regulations starting January 1, 2019. The industry must embrace the new climate-friendly natural refrigerant HC (hydrocarbons).
Turbo Air is committed to the environment with innovative and eco-friendly technology! By utilizing our innovative, eco-friendly technology, Turbo Air has now replaced all previous refrigerants with climate-friendly hydrocarbons R-600a (Isobutane) and R-290 (Propane). In our efforts to protect our environment, we have decreased energy consumption by 25%.
What is Hydrocarbon?
HC (hydrocarbon) is a sustainable alternative to HFC. Hydrocarbons (R-600a, R-290) are natural refrigerants that have no ODP (ozone depleting potential) and very low GWP (global warming potential). Moreover, HC based equipment have been shown to be more energy efficient compared to HFC based equipment, which translates to lower operating costs. The EPA approved R-290 (Propane) and R-600a (Isobutane) as acceptable refrigerants for use in commercial refrigeration, stand-alone equipment refrigerators, and freezers.
