Known in the cooling industry for its innovative and comprehensive product range, ICS has been at the forefront of chiller design and application to the process industry for more than 30 years. Following a series of CPD accredited presentations entitled ‘Energy Efficient Refrigerants’ to more than 200 design engineers over a nine-month period ICS has confirmed that its research and development on energy and natural refrigerants has been well received. This has culminated with its manufacturing company Tricool Thermal developing its use of natural refrigerants and launching its first range of Green Cooling hydrocarbon chillers.
The range provides a choice of ozone-friendly hydrocarbon refrigerants: Propane, R290 and Propylene, R1270. These are naturally produced and non-toxic with a global warming potential (GWP) of less than 3. This Green Cooling range is currently being manufactured in a range of duties – 50-650kW – offering a wide temperature choice of -30oC to +20oC water leaving.
Commenting on the launch Mike Jones, Director of ICS said: ‘Our Green Cooling range is a very positive step in assisting designers with a natural alternative to HFCs.
The EU has passed a directive to phase out HFCs in mobile air conditioning systems and a regulation addressing their use in stationary applications, the regulation will be reviewed in 2011, although there is a view that further applications may be included, thus following the progressive stance of Denmark and Austria.’
Complete Green Cooling
The Green Cooling range will be manufactured by Tricool Thermal at its UK manufacturing facility in Southampton to ISO 9001 standards.
With more than 30 years of manufacturing experience and refrigeration expertise, ICS can offer its propane and propylene chiller technology with specialist options such as low profile, low noise, atex specification and bespoke size and orientation, built to suit the available space on site.
