Natural refrigerants
At ICEFISH, we are continuously focused on the shift toward environmentally friendly cooling solutions. Our machines are designed with sustainability in mind and use natural refrigerants such as R290 (propane) and R744 (carbon dioxide). These natural alternatives have significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) values, resulting in a reduced environmental impact compared to traditional refrigerants. R290 and R744 not only offer a greener option but also provide efficient cooling and lower energy consumption. Make the switch to natural refrigerants and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Discover how natural refrigerant R290 is used in the cooling process for beer production.

Yes, natural refrigerants can deliver comparable or even better performance than chemical refrigerants.
A chiller, also known as a cooling machine, is a device used to cool liquids or air. It is an essential component of many cooling systems and is frequently used in commercial and industrial applications.
A chiller operates on the basis of a refrigeration cycle, similar to other cooling systems. It uses a compressor to compress the refrigerant and increase its pressure and temperature. The hot, compressed refrigerant then flows through the condenser, where it releases heat to the surroundings and condenses into a liquid.
After the condenser, the liquid refrigerant flows through the expansion valve, where it is decompressed and the pressure is reduced. This causes the temperature of the refrigerant to drop significantly. The cold, liquid refrigerant then enters the evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the liquid or air that needs to be cooled. This process provides the desired cooling effect.
Chillers can use different types of cooling media, such as water, glycol, or specific cooling fluids, depending on the application. They are commonly used in air conditioning systems, process cooling, industrial cooling, and machine cooling.
By using a chiller, stable and controlled cooling can be achieved, allowing processes to run efficiently and maintaining the required temperature conditions. Chillers play an important role in the comfort, safety, and productivity of various industrial and commercial applications.
