Cascade Refrigeration Systems

Two-stage refrigeration systems that pair refrigerants for reliable, efficient ultra-low temperature performance.

Overview

How it works

A single refrigerant can't reach ultra-low temperatures efficiently. A cascade system uses two circuits: a high stage that cools the condenser of a low stage, each running a refrigerant chosen for its own temperature band.

We design cascade packages for ULT cold rooms, freezers, test chambers and process chillers, selecting compressors, cascade heat exchangers and refrigerant pairs for your duty, and building in protections for safe start-up and shutdown.

Key features

To −86 °C

Low-stage circuits engineered for deep, stable evaporating temperatures.

Matched refrigerant pairs

Each stage runs the refrigerant best suited to its band.

Safe start-up

Staged start, expansion vessels and pressure protections.

Efficient at depth

Better COP than single-stage at ultra-low set points.

Integrated controls

Both stages managed from one controller with fault history.

Serviceable layout

Accessible components and isolation valves on every stage.

FAQ

Common questions

When is a cascade system needed?

Generally when the required evaporating temperature is below about −40 °C, where single-stage systems lose efficiency and reliability.

Can you upgrade an existing system to cascade?

In many cases yes. We assess your current equipment and recommend a retrofit or a new package.

Which refrigerants do you use?

We select refrigerants that meet current regulations and suit each stage's temperature band, and explain the choice in our proposal.
