Milton Keynes, UK: Dawsongroup Temperature Control has launched Polarstore Natural, a more sustainable refrigeration solution.
The development is in partnership with Carrier Transicold. Polarstore Natural is based on the standard Polarstore Natural coldroom model but fitted with a Carrier refrigerator which uses CO2, in place of conventional refrigerant. This means the lowest possible Global Warming Potential rating of 1 and reduces its environmental impact.
While Polarstore Natural Natural has a temperature range of -40 to +30 degrees, its power consumption is comparable with standard models and requires lower refrigerant tariffs for import.
Polarstore Natural Natural is supplied in 20ft and 40ft versionsand is US EPA-approved for transport applications and unaffected by phasedowns, F-gas regulations and the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol. It is also not subject to refrigerant tax.
Charles Dawson, International Development Director, Dawsongroup TCS, says: “This is an exciting chapter for Dawsongroup TCS. Sustainability has been at the forefront of the industry for some time and this new collaboration shows that we aren’t just thinking about this important topic but we are taking action and actually investing time and money in progressive solutions that contribute to reducing emissions from our products.
“We know that our supplier partnerships are key to our success and this launch signifies a new collaboration with Carrier, a global leader in refrigeration and a pioneer in sustainable solutions. We’re proud to be aligning our products with the future of sustainable storage solutions.”
The zero-GWP polyurethane foam blowing agent technology used in the Carrier NaturaLine unit offers high insulation properties without contributing to GWP. Also, when the NaturaLine unit reaches the end of its useful service life, it is nearly entirely recyclable. The unit has been validated by UL Environment as having a 95% recyclability rate.
