New Hydrocarbon Refrigerant HC R290

R290 hydrocarbon refrigerant has been widely used in many fields, especially in household and commercial refrigeration equipment:

Household refrigeration equipment
R290 HC refrigerant is widely used in household refrigerators, freezers and small air conditioners. Its excellent refrigeration performance and environmental protection characteristics have made more and more home appliance manufacturers choose R 290 as the preferred refrigerant.

Commercial refrigeration system
In the commercial refrigeration fields such as supermarket freezers, refrigerated display cabinets, ice cream machines, etc., the application of gas R290 is also gradually increasing. Its high efficiency and energy saving characteristics can significantly reduce the operating costs of merchants while reducing the impact on the environment.

Heat pump system
R290 refrigerant gas has also made significant progress in the application of heat pump water heaters and air source heat pumps. Its efficient thermal conductivity and low temperature operation characteristics make it an ideal choice for heat pump systems.

Excellent environmental performance
R290 refrigerant has an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of zero and a global warming potential (GWP) of only 3, which is much lower than traditional refrigerants (such as R410A, whose GWP is as high as 2088). This makes R290 an ideal choice for addressing climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and fully complies with the environmental protection requirements of the Montreal Protocol and the Kigali Amendment.

High efficiency and energy saving
R290 has excellent thermodynamic properties, high refrigeration efficiency and low energy consumption. Studies have shown that refrigeration equipment using R290 has a higher energy efficiency than equipment using traditional refrigerants, which can significantly reduce operating costs. 

Significant economic efficiency
R 290 gas has a low production cost, and its high efficiency and energy-saving characteristics can save users a lot of electricity bills. In addition, R290 has a long service life and low maintenance costs, which further improves its economic efficiency.

Strong compatibility

R290 has good compatibility with traditional mineral oil and alkylbenzene oil, and can be directly used for the transformation of existing equipment, reducing the cost and complexity of equipment upgrades.
