At Secop, natural refrigerants primarily refer to the hydrocarbons isobutane (R600a) and propane (R290). These replace fluorinated refrigerants (e.g., HFCs) and are considered more environmentally friendly because they have no ozone-depleting potential and a significantly lower global warming impact.

Because they offer several advantages: they are compatible with many existing components and oils, they are more cost-effective to purchase, and they enable higher energy efficiency and therefore lower operating costs.

Secop (formerly Danfoss Compressors) introduced its first compressors for R600a in 1993 and for R290 in 1999. This gives the company more than 25 years of experience with these natural refrigerants.

Secop uses natural refrigerants primarily in commercial refrigeration and freezing applications (light commercial – LBP/MBP), in food service and retail equipment, as well as in medical cooling and ultra-low-temperature applications.

Key advantages include: high energy efficiency (e.g., savings of up to 40% compared to conventional systems), the ability to use lower refrigerant charges, improved environmental performance (no ozone depletion, very low GWP), and low-leakage system designs.

By using natural refrigerants with low global warming potential, by providing energy-efficient compressors, and by helping reduce the overall CO₂ footprint, Secop’s solutions make a direct contribution to sustainable refrigeration and climate protection.
