R290 | Structural Concepts

We Are Now R290 Compliant

Structural Concepts has converted its self-contained refrigerated merchandisers well ahead of the 12/31/2024 EPA deadline. With the R290 system, fresh food operators will experience a quieter operation, a reduction in daily energy consumption, and a future proof solution that complies with EPA requirements.

R290 Refrigeration Systems

After 11/1/2024, all non-R290 refrigeration systems will be unavailable. For some models where dimensional changes occurred, new models will replace the existing non-R290 models.

Be Confident That the Equipment You Are Purchasing is Now R290 Compliant and Will Arrive On Time

Our new common, now available R290 compliant designs and robust components provide further peace of mind that you’ll experience consistent trouble-free operation – and our industry-best lead times will ensure immediate product availability and on-time delivery. 

What Is Structural Concepts Doing To Ensure A Seamless Conversion

In partnership with NIDEC, we innovated single and multi-circuit refrigeration systems using less than 150g of R290 that emphasize efficiency for daily energy savings.  

We conducted a full product line conversion from Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO’s) to low charge R290 variable speed technology; Single and multi-circuit systems using less than 150g of R290.

With the majority of cases transitioning to NSF Type II (operating in environments that don’t exceed 80° F and 55% relative humidity), we’re already prepared with our innovative Breeze-E refrigeration system. An easy-to-maintain, slide-out refrigeration system that’s designed with a variable speed compressor, smart microprocessor, and an oversized condenser coil to ensure a longer life and stronger overall performance providing the benefit of holding product-safe temperatures in warmer, more humid operating environments 

The R290 condensing unit with variable speed compressor smartly optimizes energy consumption by managing compressor on and off cycles. The onboard condensate pan provides a completely self-contained solution that is fully operational once the unit is plugged in.
