Our solutions integrate the most appropriate components and fluids: speed variation, optimised machine output, adapted production, consumption, and use of natural fluids such as ammonia (NH3) and carbon dioxide (CO2), which have a less significant effect on the ozone layer.
 
In the context of protecting the ozone layer, countries having signed the Montreal protocol and the Kyoto protocol, are committed to progressively reducing HCFCs. For the industrial refrigeration world, in real terms, this means removing the fluid refrigerant R22 from all units in accordance with a specific schedule. read more
