Certified & Accredited

Our hydrocarbon refrigerants meet or exceed AHRI Standard 700, and we are a domestic producer of UL-Classified R290 and R600a. All refrigerants are tested and come with a Certificate of Analysis to ensure your specifications are met.

Sustainable Solutions

Hydrocarbon refrigerants feature low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP).

High-Purity for Optimal Outcomes

Using proprietary equipment and technology, we remove moisture, sulfur and other impurities they may adversely impact equipment and operations. High-purity hydrocarbon refrigerants cut energy costs, extend equipment life, and increase production rates and uptime.

Purity Makes the Difference

Contaminants can cause significant issues even at concentrations below 50 parts per million (ppm).

For a refrigerator manufacturer, purity can be the difference between an increase or decrease in warranty claims. For an industrial plant, it can be the difference between maximizing uptime or shutting down operations.

Our hydrocarbon refrigerants are high in purity to meet today’s standards for sustainability, efficiency, and reliability.

High-Purity Hydrocarbons:
  • Reduce energy costs
  • Extend equipment life
  • Increase production rates and uptime
  • Reduce refrigerant cost when compared to other refrigerants
  • Allow for direct venting of refrigerant during service, eliminating
    the need to capture and recycle old refrigerant
  • Feature very low ppm levels of moisture, ethane, sulfur and other
    contaminants
The Impact of Contaminants

Even trace levels of contaminants in refrigerants can have serious consequences, compromising system integrity, efficiency, and longevity. From internal corrosion to mechanical failure, each contaminant introduces unique risks.

Water
  • Causes piping corrosion and possible lube oil breakdown in compressors.
  • Freezes and expands, causing pipes to rupture.
  • Generates ice shards that pass through the system, damaging pumps and seals.
Mercury
  • Causes metal to be brittle by forming aluminum amalgam, leading to stress fractures.
Ethane (high-pressure gas)
  • Increases horsepower by placing unnecessary demand on the compressor drive and discharge coolers.
  • Limits natural gas flow rate to offset the additional load.
  • Causes a high-pressure trip at the HHP stage.
Butanes & Heavier
  • Requires higher refrigerant circulation to meet the targeted cooling temperature.
CO2
  • Causes corrosion and freeze-ups in the presence of moisture.
Other Impurities (neopentane, etc.)
  • Causes freeze-ups in the Mixed Refrigerants (MR) loop
