The BlueBox range of R290 chillers harnesses the power of propane — a natural refrigerant with an ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP) of just 3 — to deliver efficient, future-proof cooling with minimal environmental impact. Engineered for performance and sustainability, BlueBox R290 chillers are the ideal solution for organisations looking to meet strict environmental regulations without sacrificing reliability or efficiency.
Why choose an ultra-low GWP refrigerant? Choosing a BlueBox R290 chiller means aligning your cooling infrastructure with the demands of tomorrow — today. It’s a proactive investment in sustainability, regulatory readiness, and total lifecycle efficiency. As the industry shifts toward refrigerants with low environmental impact, R290 (propane) stands out as a high-performing, natural alternative that’s already meeting and exceeding global environmental standards. The key benefits of R290 are:
Ultra-low GWP of 3 – almost zero climate impact
Natural, non-toxic refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP)
Exceptional thermodynamic efficiency, enabling lower energy consumption
Proven long-term availability without regulatory phase-out pressure
Compliant with the latest EU F-Gas and EcoDesign directives
Safe, Efficient, and Compliant. While R290 is a hydrocarbon refrigerant (classified A3 – flammable), BlueBox systems are engineered with stringent safety measures:
Leak detection and ventilation systems
Sealed, low-charge circuit design
Compliance with EN378, IEC 60335, and other relevant safety standards
BlueBox chillers are factory-tested and delivered ready for safe and compliant operation, ensuring peace of mind and long-term reliability.
