Use of Natural Refrigerants in Supermarkets

Preface

As the refrigeration industry also desires to supply products having the least adverse environmental impact possible, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, Super Køl A/S, Fakta and the Danish Technological Institute entered into an agreement in the spring of 2001 to fully develop and commercialise the technology of natural refrigerants in supermarkets.

The project follows from the success experienced with a demonstration system in Odense, which proved, however, to be too costly and technology-intensive. To make the most of the positive experience gained in operating this system, the concept had to be repeated, this time bearing market conditions in mind. Thus, the price of components becomes a factor to be considered on a par with functionality and stability, which will serve to strengthen an improve market penetration of cleaner and more environment-friendly products also in the refrigeration industry.

The success of such a project hinges on all involved parties being positive and committed. Everyone involved in this project was extremely positive, particularly Fakta Beder, Danfoss, Grundfos, Bitzer, Arneg, SWEP, Tempcold and AGA.

Project participants:

The project group consisting of the Danish Technological Institute, Super Køl and Fakta.
