Refcool Refrigeration Unveils New RC4‑1 R290 Process Chiller Ahead of Interplas 2026

REFCOOL Refrigeration Limited is excited to announce a brand new addition to its cooling line-up ahead of Interplas next week. Designed, developed and tested by the company’s in-house team of engineers to solve real-world cooling challenges where flexibility, compliance and indoor operation matter, particularly as new F-Gas regulations come into force on 1st January 2027.

This isn’t simply about adding another product to the company’s range.

It’s about creating practical solutions around challenges that customers repeatedly face:

• Space restrictions
• Indoor installation requirements
• Future F-Gas regulation changes
• Smaller process cooling applications
• Real-world operational environments

Why was it built?

Cooling often becomes visible only when something stops working.

For manufacturing environments, cooling can directly affect:

• Downtime risk
• Product quality
• Operating costs
• Process stability
• Output consistency
• Production efficiency

As regulations change and operational environments evolve, many businesses still require cooling systems capable of operating safely indoors without creating future compliance concerns.

Are You Ready For January 2027?

New F-Gas regulations coming into force on 1st January 2027 are changing how smaller cooling systems can be designed and installed.

Questions many businesses may soon need to ask:

• Will our current cooling systems remain compliant?
• Can future systems still operate indoors?
• Will infrastructure changes be needed?
• Are we planning ahead or reacting later?

Meet The RC4-1 R290

This chiller has specifically been designed to provide a solution where cooling is required indoors.

Ideal applications include:

Production Halls– End-of-line cooling applications where process consistency matters.

Laboratories & Clean Rooms– Controlled environments requiring reliable and stable cooling.

Indoor Process Environments– Applications where cooling systems need to safely operate in smaller or restricted spaces.

Why This Is Different
