Energy Efficiency Laboratory - Natural refrigerants

For more than 25 years, our specialists have worked up an extensive experience with natural refrigerants such as CO₂, NH_3, hydrocarbons and water. The type of refrigerant used in the system of your product has great influence on the efficiency and energy consumption of your product. In addition, regulations and requirements have been introduced to decrease the greenhouse effect and ozone depletion caused by refrigerants such as the HFC and HCFC refrigerants.

The alternative is to replace or convert the refrigerant used in your product to a low-GWP (HFO) or natural refrigerant, which are environmentally friendly and cause no or little ozone depletion and greenhouse effect. 

We offer consultancy on the use of the various types of refrigerants, e.g. with regard to information about the properties of the individual refrigerants, including their advantages and disadvantages.

Examples of the different types of refrigerants.
