NATURAL REFRIGERANT
Cooled by nature’s refrigerant.
Every Xiltek unit runs on R290, a purified form of propane. It keeps food cold with less energy and almost no climate impact.

How it works
The same loop every refrigerator uses. R290 just does the job more efficiently.
- 1 Absorbs heatCold R290 runs through the coil inside the cabinet and soaks up heat from your food.
- 2 Gets compressedThe compressor squeezes the warm R290 vapor, which raises its temperature.
- 3 Releases heatThe condenser coil in the base pushes that heat out of the unit.
- 4 Cools and repeatsA narrow tube drops the pressure, R290 turns ice cold, and the loop starts again.
What R290 does better
A tiny footprint.
Each circle shows how much a refrigerant warms the planet if it escapes. Older refrigerants are hundreds of times worse. R290 is barely a dot.

Engineered for safety.
- Sealed at the factoryThe refrigerant loop is closed and tested before it ships. It’s never opened on site.
- A small chargeEach unit holds only a small amount of R290, within EPA and UL safety limits.
- Safety listedETL listed and built to UL and NSF standards.
Every model. No upcharge.
Every Xiltek model runs on R290 and ships free.
