The main benefit of the transition to A2L refrigerants is the drastic reduction in GWP. Compared with R-404A —the traditional standard in low and medium temperature—, an A2L refrigerant such as R-454C offers up to a 96% reduction in GWP.

In practical terms, this ultra-low GWP level makes it possible to keep using direct-expansion systems in self-service display cases, frozen-food islands, reach-in units, and in-store cold rooms. Because it operates at pressures and performance levels very similar to R-404A, retail maintenance technicians can keep using fully familiar working procedures for charging, valve adjustment, and day-to-day in-store service.

This ensures the supermarket's operational continuity, reduces the risk of product loss from technical stoppages, and makes it easier to comply with the strictest environmental regulations without having to migrate to overly complex technologies.

The use of state-of-the-art components, charge management systems optimized per circuit, and continuous monitoring sensors ensures that the supermarket operates under the highest protection standards on the market. The result is a robust system, designed with cutting-edge technology, that protects both business continuity and safety on the sales floor.
