HC Heat-Exchangers, a South Africa-based manufacturer of coils and HVAC&R solutions, including CO2 (R744) and ammonia (R717) systems, has joined the world’s leading natural refrigerant HVAC&R stakeholders as a silver partner of the NaturalRefrigerants.com marketplace.
The company manufactures products for the commercial, industrial and retail sectors.
Established in 2001, the company joined the HC Group of Companies in 2020, after which it expanded into the international market.

It produces, among other things, coils for chilled and hot water exchange, steam, condensing, evaporation and dry coolers.
According to HC, the company’s refrigeration products include a “growing portfolio” of compressed systems, including the natural refrigerants CO2 and ammonia.
