Zero F-gas. Ever.
Every one of our cold rooms runs on natural refrigerants — R290 propane or R744 CO₂. No R404A, no R134a, no HFCs. An operational promise, not a marketing pose.
Natural refrigerants only
R290 (propane, GWP 3) on units ≤ 30 m³, R744 (CO₂, GWP 1) on larger units. No F-gas, ever, across the entire ecofrost range.
Transferable 2-year warranty
Backed by CGGK as the importer of record. Parts and labour included. Transferable on resale, unlike reseller distributors.
Direct importer
A single margin between the partner factory in China and your operation. No reseller, no platform. The price reflects the real value of the product, not three stacked margins.
The climate weight of refrigerants
GWP (Global Warming Potential) measures the climate impact of one kilogram of refrigerant released into the atmosphere, compared with CO₂. The lower the number, the better.
| Refrigerant | Type | GWP | EU status 2024 | Used at ecofrost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| R744 (CO₂) | Natural | 1 | Recommended long term | ✓ Large units |
| R290 (propane) | Natural | 3 | Recommended long term | ✓ Units ≤ 30 m³ |
| R32 | HFC | 675 | Declining quota 2024-2030 | ✗ Never |
| R134a | HFC | 1,430 | Declining quota 2024-2030 | ✗ Never |
| R404A | HFC blend | 3,922 | EU phase-out under way | ✗ Never |
Factory pre-charged OR delivered uncharged + partner engineer
The ATEX limit (~5 kg of R290 in an enclosed space) imposes a matrix by capacity. Here is how we draw the line.
Turnkey delivery. Electrical connection on site, immediate start-up. No refrigeration engineer required.
- Charge ≤ 1 kg, ATEX compliant
- Installation time: 1 day
- Fully transparent total cost
Container delivered without refrigerant charge. Our network of certified engineers carries out the R290 or R744 charging on site, within 48-72 hours of delivery.
- Separate engineer quote (~€800-2,500)
- ATEX + F-Gas compliance
- R744 (CO₂) option on request
An operational network across our markets
For uncharged units, we rely on F-Gas Cat. I certified refrigeration engineers. Selection focuses on CO₂/R290 competence, quote turnaround and on-site response capacity.
