The F-gas Reduction Incentive Program aims to accelerate the adoption of ultra-low GWP refrigeration technologies.
Based on five commercial and industrial refrigeration projects across Latin America (LATAM), Italian manufacturer SCM Frigo has found that its transcritical CO2 (R744) systems are 5–33% more efficient than similar R404A solutions. The level of efficiency achieved depends predominantly on the local climate as well as system complexity and the additional technologies deployed, explained Alberto…
The new brand encompasses systems that use sustainable refrigerants, including CO2 and propane.
The international food wholesaler has other installations under construction in Moldova and Ukraine and recently completed a transcritical CO2 project in Austria.
Of the company’s more than 2,300 stores in the United States, more than 600 already use of R744 and/or R290.
