Environmentally friendly cooling appliances
More efficient cooling with a top eco-balance
Energy-saving and environmentally friendly cooling is possible! We offer both air-cooled and water-cooled cooling units for the laboratory and pharmaceutical industries. These are environmentally friendly cooling appliances.
In our current product portfolio, we use environmentally friendly R290 (propane) in recirculating chillers up to a cooling capacity of ~1000W.
MINORE®
Laboratory chiller, 300 to 500 watts
The environmentally friendly MINORE® is a small recirculating chiller that is available with 300, 350 and 500 watts of cooling capacity (at 20 °C).
KÜHLMOBIL
Laboratory chiller, 600 watts to 1 kW
Powerful but quiet, small recirculating chiller. Available in various power ranges (600 watts — 1 kW).
COOL-AIR
Economical, for small applications
Cooling with air is the most economical method of cooling, which is why our COOL-AIR is also one of the most environmentally friendly coolers in our product range.
System separator - water-water cooler
Ecological, with a valuable rating
All models are specially designed according to your existing cooling water network. Output up to 150 kW, with bypass, pressure gauge and flow monitor for flow monitoring.
R290 – Future-Proof Refrigeration Technology for Sustainable Recirculating Chillers
The requirements for modern refrigeration technology are evolving rapidly. With F-Gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573, the European Union aims to progressively reduce and ultimately phase out the use of fluorinated greenhouse gases with high global warming potential (GWP). For manufacturers and users of refrigeration equipment, this means that investing in environmentally responsible and future-proof refrigerants is becoming increasingly important.
For this reason, Van der Heijden Labortechnik GmbH has deliberately chosen the natural refrigerant R290 (propane) for its recirculating chillers. R290 has an exceptionally low global warming potential of just 3, making it one of the most environmentally friendly refrigerants available and well below the limits set by current and future European environmental regulations. Unlike many conventional fluorinated refrigerants, R290 is not subject to the phase-down schedules and quota restrictions imposed by the F-Gas Regulation.
In addition to its environmental benefits, R290 offers excellent thermodynamic properties. It provides high energy efficiency, outstanding heat transfer characteristics, and reliable cooling performance across a wide temperature range. As a result, recirculating chillers using R290 can often operate more efficiently while maintaining the high performance required in laboratory and industrial applications.
For our customers, this translates into long-term investment security. Equipment designed around R290 already complies with upcoming regulatory requirements, minimizing the risk of costly future retrofits, refrigerant shortages, or service restrictions associated with phased-out refrigerants.
By utilizing R290, Van der Heijden Labortechnik GmbH combines innovative cooling technology with sustainability and regulatory compliance. Our recirculating chillers deliver reliable and efficient temperature control while actively contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and supporting a more sustainable future.
