DeepChill™ Air Cycle Refrigeration System

DeepChill™ Air Cycle Refrigeration System

Originally developed by Concepts NREC as an aircraft refrigeration system, this environmentally friendly DeepChill™ machine uses air as the refrigerant in place of CFCs or other harmful coolants. In addition to operating with zero CO2 emissions, both the system cycle and hardware are void of any harmful chemicals that might contribute to depletion of the ozone layer. While producing low-temperature air in the range of minus 60°F to minus 120°F, the system offers better efficiency than more traditional refrigeration cycles such as Cascade-, LN2-, and Ammonia-based systems, making air cycle refrigeration well suited and safe for food processing.
