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.
