R22 Phase-Out — Glycol Coolers for Food Manufacturing

When a leading high-end biscuit manufacturer needed to replace its legacy R22 DX refrigeration system following the R22 phase-out, HC Coils was selected to supply the replacement cooling solution across three UK sites.

The project involved the design, manufacture and supply of over 50 ceiling mounted and dual discharge glycol coolers. Every unit was bespoke to match existing fixing centres, making installation significantly easier and reducing downtime for the client.

All coolers were supplied with HC Coils' easy-clean feature — a critical requirement for food manufacturing environments where high hygiene standards must be maintained at all times. The easy-clean design allows for quick access and thorough cleaning during production shutdowns.

The transition from the old DX system to a full chilled water system gave the client a more efficient, environmentally compliant and maintainable cooling infrastructure across all three manufacturing facilities.
