Ozone-friendly refrigerants
October 1st 2007 Innovate Logistics is using
non-ozone depleting
refrigerants at its distribution
centres across the UK. With
the increase in legislation
pertaining to fluorocarbon
emissions it has never been
more important to
implement responsible
operational procedures. As a leading supplier of
temperature controlled
storage and distribution
solutions, Innovate Logistics
is committed to introducing
practices which reduce its
impact on the environment
and eliminate the risk of
damage to goods. Rather
than have toxic or harmful
refrigerant gasses in the
refrigerated space, Innovate
Logistics uses an ammoniabased
primary refrigerant
restricted to the plant room,
preventing any product
contamination or
unnecessary danger to
personnel. A secondary
refrigerant made of a nontoxic
biodegradable aqueous
salt solution, such as Hycool
and Tyfoxit, is pumped
through the aircooling coils
of the 1,397,219m3 or
49,342,056ft3 of
refrigerated storage space
across Innovate's main sites. More articles from Stobart Chilled: |
