INDUSTRIAL CO2 REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT
GASES COMMONLY USED AS REFRIGERANTS IN REFRIGERATION EQUIPMENT HAVE A HIGH GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL (GWP). This means that, if released into the atmosphere, these gases contribute significantly to the greenhouse effect. This is one of the main drivers of global warming. In this context, in 2014, the European Commission approved the Regulation (EU) No 517/2014 on fluorinated greenhouse gases, which imposes a gradual ban on refrigerant gases with high GWP, especially in those sectors using high refrigerant charges and with significant leakage rates, as in the case of the industrial refrigeration sector.
KIDE is a company dedicated to manufacture, marketing and installation of commercial and industrial cold rooms. In CO2PACK, TECNALIA has contributed to the design, characterisation and validation of the functional prototype, IK Ingeniería has carried out the LCA, and ISEA has participated in management and coordination.
