max each
150g CHARGE LIMIT
1) Cabinet insulation improvement
to reduce heat load and
compressor size
2) Use of smaller frame compressor
(smaller internal volume)
3) Fan cooled heat exchangers
4) Reduced internal volume heat
exchangers

16. Propane can be considered as most sustainable
refrigerant for light commercial segment because of
both, direct and indirect emissions
With 150g of propane charge it’s possible to cover
most of unitary, plug-in applications
A common effort to increase HC charge limit
up to 350 – 500 grams to cover all plug in
range with single circuit solution is strongly
recommended
R290 and Variable Speed Drive offers an
Excellent option to meet future European F-Gases,
EcoDesign and Energy Labelling Directives.
