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 has placed a strong focus on optimizing and decarbonizing its production processes – a strategy that has already resulted in faster lead times and increased production capacity.
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.
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 – the patented Siemens valve and a traditional stepper valve – demonstrate that the magnetic expansion valve helps the heat pump deliver a coefficient of performance (COP) over 16% higher.
Refra just installed 18 charging stations for Electric Vehicles — taking another step in our commitment to sustainability. Investing in renewable energy, in our people, and in the future is at the core of our business and we’re charging ahead — quite literally!
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.
Refra has initiated plans to install an onshore solar power plant, encouraged by the opportunity to receive support through the joint project “Investment Support for Onshore Solar Power Plants. This initiative is implemented under the Economic Recovery and Resilience Plan “Next Generation Lithuania” and is financed by the European Union’s Recovery and Resilience Facility NextGenerationEU.
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.
Refrigeration industry sales do not stop at the shipment of the product. Since we manufacture non-standard product, fully adapted to customer needs, we try to take care of the project even after the unit is at its final destination.
