FROST-TROL AT THE 5TH INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS AIR CONDITIONING, COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION BARRANQUILLA

On August 28th, 29th and 30th, the Fifth International Congress on Trade and Industrial Climate Control and Refrigeration was held in Barranquilla (Colombia). The Congress, organized by ACAIRE (Colombian Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Association) aims to be a platform for the exchange of scientific knowledge of Latin America for the air conditioning and refrigeration industry commercial and industrial. In this regard, novel, efficient and sustainable engineering solutions are formulated for the society of the future.

On the second day of the Congress, Javier Blanco, Technical Director of Frost-trol, presented the Experimental Analysis of the Behavior of an Open Vertical Exhibit, using R744 (CO2) as a refrigerant.

In the study, a comparison is made between an open cabinet with R744 with an exhibitor using as refrigerant R404 A, resulting in a higher energy efficiency index with the use of CO2 for the same climatic class.
Frost-trol is committed to refrigerants of natural origin already accepted by the main distribution chains, as a solution to the limitations imposed by the F-gas regulation in terms of PCA (Atmospheric Heating Potential) for those fluids refrigerants that were standardized in the market. From the organization are constantly studied as part of its growth process, the most efficient and sustainable solutions in terms of both production and use of cabinets.
