CHANGE REFRIGERANT GAS NOTIFICATION ON STANDARD PRODUCTS

12 December 2017

Iglu is pleased to announce that any order delivered starting from January 2018 of all the integral products listed below will use gas refrigerant R452a and not R404a anymore, which will remain standard only for vertical cabinets at this time.

R452a is a mixture of hydrofluoro-olefin (HFO) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) that reduces the environmental impact by 45%; non-flammable and non-toxic fluid, it allows to maintain unvaried the management rules of refrigerant R404a.

Its introduction is a proactive measure to anticipate the decrease of R404a, a direct consequence of the latest European Regulations. 

Refrigerant R452a is able to perform a -45% of CO2 equivalent emission compared to R404a.

 

WHAT WILL CHANGE                                         

The current refrigerant change will not result in any change in the price shown on our pricelist, but only in the refrigerant gas*.

All the remote products (excluding any pizza shelf and the Front of House products that remain in R134a) will havethermostatic valves compatible with both R452a and R404a gases.

Other type of refrigerant setting-up should be agreed from time to time and may incur extra costs.

 

We take this chance to remind you, as already indicated on our price lists, that most of our products is available in R290 version (integral) or CO2 version, Glycol version (remote), which are refrigerants with best energy efficiency currently not subject to market foreclosure.
