Supermarket Refrigeration

More Efficient Cooling for Your Supermarket With Solstice® HFO Refrigerants

On average, 50% of the energy consumed in a supermarket is required for refrigeration—an essential system in food retail operations. Solstice^®HFO technology offers a simple drop-in refrigerant upgrade that has been engineered as a safe alternative to help food retailers and supermarket owners decrease energy consumption, lower operating costs and reduce environmental impact.

Get More Value Out Of Your Refrigeration System

Better for Your Bottom Line

Reducing energy consumption, lowering operating costs and avoiding downtime are critical to your bottom line. Solstice HFO solutions allow you to reimagine your refrigeration without reengineering your operations. They offer a simple drop-in solution that eliminates time consuming, expensive changeovers and capital expenditures, all while delivering increased customer safety and operating efficiency.

Better for The Planet

Solstice HFO solutions for retrofit, low-CAPEX remodeling and new systems are engineered to help food retailers and supermarket owners become carbon neutral faster and stay within budget. They have low global warming potential, and unlike alternative refrigerants, are non-toxic, non-flammable, easily integrate into existing refrigeration systems, and are energy efficient and operationally cost effective.

Solstice HFO and HFO blend refrigerants are considered more energy efficient than HFCs. For example, Honeywell Solstice N40 demonstrated an average of between 5% and 15% lower energy consumption in comparison to R-404A. Transitioning to HFO and HFO blends can help food retail stores lower overall energy footprint, avoid downtime, and reduce maintenance costs, which has a direct positive impact on the bottom line.

Solstice refrigerants are easy to install and maintain. In contrast to CO2-based refrigeration systems, which demand specialized skills and capabilities, systems with Solstice® refrigerants follow standard installation and maintenance practices, requiring no elite skillset and experience.

Our complete portfolio of refrigerants for Food Retail include Solstice^® ze, Solstice^® N15, Solstice^® 513A and Solstice® yf.
