Green and Cost Effective – Refra CO2 Racks for commercial refrigeration

In 2020, the COVID-19 catastrophe majorly disrupted the commercial foodservice industry and retail industries, adversely impacting the growth of the market for commercial refrigeration equipment. This, along with other aspects, has led the players in this market to look for cost-effective and efficient solutions in the conduct of their business. One such solution is to reduce energy costs.

With this in mind, Refra has released a special range of CO2 products that make a significant contribution to reducing overall energy consumption. Collecting feedback and customer reviews we have learned that changing the old refrigeration equipment with freon refrigerant to new CO2 equipment resulted in a drastic drop of electricity consumption. Customers say the equipment has paid off in 1 year and continues to successfully reduce their costs. 

The growing environmental concerns related to the emission of harmful refrigerants such as CFC and HCFC have led to the implementation of regulations, favoring the use of low global warming potential

#GWP refrigerants in commercial refrigeration equipment globally. Such regulations are encouraging manufacturers to seek low energy consuming refrigerants in order to minimize the adverse effect of greenhouse gas emissions.

As a manufacturing company with a significant impact on the well-being of the planet, Refra strives to remain conscious and take environmental concerns into account. That‘s why our goal is production of completely green refrigeration equipment in the future. Already, about 70% of the company’s total production consists of equipment with natural refrigerants. Moreover, 90% of all equipment has a low global warming potential. We are happy with such results and the growing demand for these solutions.

With the market gradually recovering, we are seeing more and more research predicting huge growth in the commercial refrigeration market over the next few years. The increase in demand for frozen food items and the reviving hospitality and tourism industries are some of the factors driving the market growth. At this particularly difficult time for all, let‘s choose responsibly and cost-effectively!
