R290 Propane Chillers

Yes. R290 is the refrigerant designation for high-purity propane used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems.

Yes. R290 offers excellent thermodynamic properties, allowing chillers to achieve high cooling efficiency while reducing electricity consumption.

Absolutely. Modern R290 propane chillers are widely used for industrial process cooling, HVAC systems, manufacturing, food processing and many other commercial applications.

Yes. We can provide standard packaged units or fully customised R290 propane chillers designed around your cooling requirements.

R290 has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of approximately 3 and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). As a naturally occurring refrigerant, it helps businesses reduce greenhouse gas emissions and supports compliance with evolving environmental regulations.

Yes. Although propane is classified as an A3 flammable refrigerant, modern R290 chillers are specifically engineered with multiple safety features. These may include refrigerant leak detection, ventilation systems, pressure protection, electrical safety controls and compliance with relevant UK and European safety standards. When installed and maintained correctly by qualified engineers, R290 chillers are a safe and proven cooling solution.

R290 propane chillers are available in a wide range of cooling capacities, from compact units for small commercial applications to large industrial systems capable of delivering several hundred kilowatts of cooling. GalxC can recommend the most suitable solution based on your process requirements.

Yes. Most air-cooled R290 propane chillers are designed for external installation and are built to withstand year-round weather conditions. Indoor installation may also be possible where appropriate ventilation and safety requirements can be achieved.

Standard R290 propane chillers typically provide chilled water temperatures between 5°C and 20°C. Specialist process chillers can be designed to deliver much lower temperatures where required.

In many cases, yes. Replacing an ageing chiller with a modern R290 propane chiller can improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs and lower environmental impact. Our engineers can assess your existing installation and recommend the most appropriate replacement solution.
