Iglu Cold Systems Winning with Hydrocarbon

Iglu Cold Systems is one of an exclusive group of companies to have invested in the development of a complete range of professional counters and uprights using Hydrocarbon to run the compressor

Introduction to the use of Hydrocarbon (R290) in foodservice refrigeration R290 is not new technology… The development of man made gases in the1900’s meant R290 declined until it was almost abandoned… In the1980’s new methods of containing and utilising R290 were discovered Making it a credible power base for modern refrigeration systems as the need for commercial refrigeration grows each year

What Iglu Cold Systems developed All Iglu foodservice refrigeration products listed within the price list (excluding Blast Chillers and sushi units) can be specified in R290 Giving for the first time, Foodservice related users the opportunity to have an R290 based alternative, to drive uprights and counters in the most compliant and energy efficient way

Why Hydrocarbon (R290)? R290 has a negligible direct impact on climate change. (so any leak or vent from a system has no impact at all) R290 has a high energy saving capacity up to 30% R290 is non corrosive

Customer benefits Reduced exposure to C.E. tax Min 30% energy saving in 1 st year and thereafter 100% tax deductable

The Green factor The use of HCFC and HFC gases have either been banned or are being phased out. R290 is BREEAM compliant (building research establishment) Global Warming Potential (GWP): R290 rating is 1 R404rating is 3800 R134Arating is 1300 Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) R290 non applicable No harm to the environment Gas leakages are almost impossible to avoid at some point in any refrigeration system R290 is virtually “Non Polluting” Dedicated push by most of Europe towards the abolition of polluting gases (man made) and the encouragement of non polluting gases Either by taxation or rebate advantages By force – imposing specifications for new builds only allowing the use of non polluting gas systems. New legislation to be introduced by 2015

Hydrocarbon– the Future & Iglu Cold Systems A constant development programme for all R290 based solutions Dedicated R&D staff at the Iglu factory The possibility to use R290 with both Integra and 1plus series of high spec high end products Provide cost effective and efficient solutions for all foodservice based businesses Help the environment reduce harmful HFC gasses Working pro actively with governments and environmental bodies Helping to provide commercial and sustainable alternative solutions
