Panasonic promotes CO2 cooling solutions aligned with its Green Impact Plan
Refrigeration plays an important role in food processing and preservation, drug preservation, cooling of medical diagnostic machinery and efficient operation of large data processing centres, to mention some of the most important industrial processes. Panasonic Heating & Cooling Solutions, which participated in the last edition of the C&R fair, reaffirms its commitment to the environment with CO2 cooling solutions. These innovations are aligned with its Green Impact Plan, which aims to reduce 300 million tonnes of CO2 from its entire value chain by 2050.
Angel Clúa, Key Account Manager at Panasonic, points out that "refrigeration and air conditioning companies are responsible for 12% of total energy use worldwide. Therefore, we must be extremely careful to offer our customers solutions that are increasingly efficient and use refrigerants with a low environmental impact". Committed to this vision, Panasonic has developed a range of OCU condensing units using CO2 refrigerant. These units not only stand out for their easy start-up and reliability, but also ensure optimum performance even in high outdoor temperatures, with models available up to 20 HP.
Panasonic's new CO2 condensing units stand out for their versatility, suitable for convenience stores, supermarkets, petrol stations and cold rooms. These solutions offer considerable energy savings, low noise levels and lower refrigerant load, resulting in much lower installation and maintenance costs. In addition, the use of CO2, a more efficient and sustainable natural gas, helps to reduce the environmental impact - due to its global warming potential of close to 1 - and to optimise energy efficiency.
Respect for the environment
Currently, the use of CO2 as a refrigerant is very attractive from an environmental point of view. For this reason, Panasonic offers this solution that limits the effects of global warming and supports environmentally friendly shops in Europe, such as the Los Valencianos ice cream parlour.
These Panasonic CO2 refrigeration solutions are ideal for commercial spaces such as supermarkets, petrol stations, cafeterias, hotel and restaurant cold rooms, as well as industrial processes in the food and medical sectors, among others.
Panasonic's Green Impact Plan ensures that the company will continue to focus on developing products that are more efficient and have a lower impact on global warming, promoting a more sustainable and responsible future.
