HFO1234ze, which has a global-warming potential of just six, is the refrigerant used in Star Refrigeration’s latest range of Indigochillers. These chillers use Turbocor compressors to achieve very efficient and quiet operation.

The construction of Indigochillers is designed to minimise the risk of refrigerant leakage and achieve an efficient operating life of 20+ years. Standard features include welded steel pipes, bellows, seal valves and epoxy-coated condenser fins.
