Issues

  • New R454C system (new A2L refrigerant).
  • Compliance with F-Gas regulations in a public building.
  • Reduction in energy consumption. 
  • Turnkey refrigeration system: cabinets and A2L refrigerant supplied.

Solutions

  • Long-lasting installation in a positive-temperature environment. 
  • Selection of compliant and certified equipment for A2L refrigerants through direct purchase of Rigo Refrigeration units.
  • Compliance with EN 378 for refrigerant charge and safety. 
  • Safety: installation of a leak detector and isolation valves, and completion of a risk assessment.

Benefits

  • Carbon reduction: selection of a low-carbon refrigerant, R454C (GWP of 148), instead of R449A (GWP of 1,397). 
  • Energy savings: Good performance achieved by installing a power reduction module.
  • Financial savings: Client’s cost constraints led to the implementation of a less expensive system using R454C. 
  • Reliability: Redundant solution with two refrigeration units instead of a single R449A system.
