New F-GAS Regulation

CO2 Refrigeration from Ascott

There is a new EU Regulation 2024/573, in force from 01.01.2025 which details requirements for new equipment in the category of “self-contained refrigeration systems”, where the refrigerant contained must have a GWP (Global Warming Potential) limit of >150.

Ascott has been working closely with the R&D team from weisstechnik Germany, and are extremely proud to be the first Corrosion chamber manufacturer, to come to market with CO2 cooling technology inside our refrigeration units.

The CO2 cooling technology that we use has a GWP of 1, which is a huge reduction in GWP to the gas used previously-  R449A (GWP1397) which was contained within the units.

The new innovative technology is immediately available for all cooling units from Ascott:

·         ACC112 with ambient control

·         ACC29 sub-zero deep freezing to -20°C

·         ACC29 sub-zero deep freezing to -40°C

·         All Ascott Atmosfar chambers

The new Ascott cooling units offer improved performance and efficiency. The energy consumption is heavily reduced, and this also results in quieter operation of the units

❄️CO2 cooling ensures precision in a controlled laboratory environment, where repeatable and reliable testing is critical ❄️

What are the benefits of CO2 Refrigeration?

· Improved control:

Achieve reliable cooling down to -40°C, unlike traditional R449A systems our new units utilise superior technology to enhance control

·         -:

We no longer have a requirement for a cascade system to achieve  -40°C, nor do we need 2 refrigerants to achieve this, now we use a single stage with CO2 only inside

·         Reduced Maintenance

No mandatory leakage tests, streamlining your operations.

·       Quiet and Efficient

Our CO2 cooling systems run quietly and consume less energy.

·        Sustainable and Future Proof

Advanced Green technology with a minimal Global Warming Potential (GWP), our CO2 solutions comply with the latest environmental regulations, whilst also remaining in compliance with international test standards.
