We protect the planet by using sustainable gases
CO2 Natural, safe, economical
Carbon dioxide, identified by code R744, is a natural refrigerant that is promoted by international standards as a way to gradually eliminate synthetic refrigerants.
Only a small volume of CO2 is needed in a refrigeration system to cool a remote appliance and preserve the organoleptic properties of fresh and frozen foods.
Propane
Light, high-performance,
non-toxic
Propane, or R290, is a naturally occurring hydrocarbon that boasts excellent thermodynamic properties and does not deplete the ozone layer.
It is best used in refrigerated displays with built-in motors and small refrigerators as it is highly inflammable and should therefore be used only in small quantities. In Europe, there is a limit of 150 g of propane per appliance. For quantities in excess of this figure, risk evaluation must be undertaken in order to obtain certification for use.
Why choose propane?
- High refrigeration power
- ODP of 0 and GWP of 3
- Environmental compatibility
- High energy efficiency, low cost
- Ready availability at a low price
Arneg offers a range of plug-in cabinets refrigerated by R290 to suit the needs of both large and small stores: from hypermarkets (discount campaigns and impulse sales) to small shops where every inch of space is important.
