Solihull, a town in the West Midlands of United Kingdom, has taken a major step toward decarbonizing its heating infrastructure with the installation of six Refra hydrocarbon heat pumps for a new 1.6 MW Energy Centre. The project will deliver district heating and hot water to local government buildings, community facilities, and educational institutions, significantly reducing carbon emissions in line with the Council’s net zero 2041 target.
The R290-based heat pump and chiller system from Refra was installed at a new Keelings Flowers’ processing facility in Dublin in 2023. Each year, millions of flower bouquets journey thousands of miles, from greenhouses and fields in places like Colombia, Kenya and the Netherlands, to customers across Europe and North America. In this global market, valued at around €15 billion ($16.9 billion) in 2015, freshness is key.
Refra air-to-water heat pumps, featuring the MVL702 magnetic expansion valve from Siemens, are able to demonstrate clear efficiency gains compared to competing systems. A comprehensive test involving a Refra reversible propane (R290) heat pump with two identical circuits housing different valve technologies demonstrates that the magnetic expansion valve helps the heat pump deliver a coefficient of performance (COP) over 16% higher.
Refra has signed a landmark partnership with Hussmann in Australia. This strategic collaboration not only opens a new chapter for Refra in one of the world’s largest island nations, but also represents a strong signal of trust from a global refrigeration leader. It highlights how forward-thinking partnerships are shaping the new benchmarks for sustainability in refrigeration.
A highly successful Refra Ignis reversible heat pump installed at a new €20 million flower processing facility in Ireland is the recipient of a prestigious industry award. This advanced Refra propane heat pump with its state-of-the-art technologies has been delivering sustainability and energy efficiency at Keeling’s newly constructed flower processing facility in St Margaret’s, County Dublin, since opening in July 2023.
In order to replace synthetic refrigerant systems and switch to natural refrigerants, Refra offers the invaluable advantage of a decade-long expertise in propane innovation. The company embarked on this transformative journey 10 years ago, redefining its production practices by incorporating natural refrigerants into its manufacturing process. This decision set the company apart as industry pioneers, with 84% of production being with CO2 and Propane.
