Our R&D team has strongly and successfully worked on an environmental alternative - with no direct effect on global warming -, reducing the energy consumption by using natural refrigerants with no greenhouse effect (R290) and developing High Efficiency compressor ranges.

Propane (R290) has no direct contribution to global warming and when used in an application, its energy consumption is between 12 to 15% lower than a similar application with R404A. Additionally, propane has better dynamic behavior showing a lower increase of energy consumption with increasing ambient temperatures.

R290 compressors offer a higher cooling capacity and COP, allowing energy-saving consumption with smaller displacement. The major environmental benefits are obtained combining the use of the R290 with the design criteria of our high efficiency range compressors. These compressor models, in their more advanced versions, can save up to 35% of energy when compared with standard efficiency series of R404A, thanks to very flexible asynchronous motors that can adjust to different energy consumption levels by connecting, or not, a permanent capacitor.
