In June 2021 the Markant petrol station in Lüdinghausen, Germany, was opened with new refrigeration systems operating on low GWP A2L refrigerants.
To maintain ASDA Bootle as a flagship sustainability store, with a key focus on energy performance and safety, the business took the decision to install brand new low GWP refrigeration systems using Opteon™ XL40 (R-454A) throughout the store...
Standards and regulations have been an important aspect of the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump (RACHP) industry for many years. Regulations such as the ozone protection regulations, and latterly the F-Gas regulations, have been well publicised and largely self-policed within the industry but there are many other regulations and standards which have been in place in one form or another just as long but have been less publicised and often less well observed.
When KONSUM Optimal-Kauf eG, the owner and operator of an all-new Edeka supermarket in the German town of Erxleben, required an environmentallycompliant cooling and heating system for the store, it called on the expertise of Limburg-based refrigeration specialist KMW.
Heat pumps are seen as a major solution for decarbonising the energy market on the way to achieving Net Zero by 2050.
Combined with using a renewable energy source they will help reduce the impact of Climate Change, lower carbon footprint whilst also reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Their main advantage is they are very energy efficient, providing up to 4kW of heating energy for every 1kW of electrical energy consumed.
Low GWP Opteon™ refrigerants are ideal for use in many different applications ranging from heat pumps to low temperature refrigeration. A recent example is in crop storage where retailers not only expect their suppliers to produce quality products but also to operate with the best environmental credentials.
Standards, safety and training will be more important than ever, whichever refrigerant you choose. The purpose of the F-Gas regulation is to drive the industry to use lower GWP refrigerants, but as many of the low GWP options have different safety requirements, successful implementation will demand changes in the way we work. Are you prepared for this?
