Copeland Compressors for Propane Refrigerant
Less Complexity. More Performance.
Propane (R290) is a natural refrigerant long known for its excellent thermodynamic properties and good performance. It is gaining ground due to a significantly reduced system charge and reduced complexity compared to systems using other refrigerants.
Less Impact. More Support. Naturally.
As end-users and equipment manufacturers investigate ways to minimize their impact on the environment, R290 is one of the most-discussed natural future-proof refrigerants. Copeland is investing in research and development to proactively support and guide customers through the F-Gas transition phase. We have focused on broadening our portfolio of propane scroll compressors, currently covering applications from integral display cases to compact medium-temperature refrigeration chillers, cold room units, and small cascade systems.

Copeland YBVH* horizontal scroll compressor 1.3-12kW
Retailers Could Clean Up with Clean Cold
A new report from the University of Birmingham, commissioned by Copeland highlights the significant challenge facing European retailers as they transition from HFCs to natural refrigerants. The resulting report, Retail Refrigeration: Making the Transition to Clean Cold, details what the move means for retailers, and offers recommendations for the path forward.
