Dukers is a leading company dedicated to commercial cooling not only because of our expertise but also for our commitment with environment. It is one of our missions to contribute with environmental protection. For this reason, we develop lean production to avoid the use of elements that harm the ecosystem and replace them for more ecological ones.

The world has changed and so did the way companies develop. There’s a growing awareness about global warming and how the atmosphere receives dangerous emissions. That’s why many companies seek a different type of coolant. And the best alternative these businesses can have is the use of our Hydrocarbon Refrigerant:

• There are around 2 billion HC Freezers and Refrigerators in use around the world.
• In Europe, these cooling systems have been used for over 2 decades and more than 40 millions of them are used for commercial purposes
• In America, more companies are opting for HC systems in order to comply with business sustainability objectives.

This is a new type of nature-friendly, safe refrigeration system that doesn’t use ozone depleting features. Our Hydrocarbon Refrigerant has a low level of global warming potential and provides the best cost-effective relationship for those looking for quality freezing and environmental safety.

Our units use R290 (HC), which is a highly refined propane and the safest, most environment-friendly option today rather than the use of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants R134a and R404a, commonly used for refrigerators and freezers.

The use of HFC refrigerants R134a and R404a are considered a great threat for environment for their level of GWP (Global Warming Potential), which is a way to determine how much heat greenhouse gases gather in the atmosphere. Thus, low level of GWP determines a less harmful activity for the environment. The R290 (HC) used in our Hydrocarbon Refrigerant units has a much lower GWP than other traditional refrigerants.
