To stop global warming is a major issue for us nowadays. So, people are paying attention for freezing and refrigerating machines that use “natural refrigerant”.
Refrigerants that use HFC (hydrofluorocarbon), which is called an artificially created alternative freon are the main nowadays. The difficulty with HFCs is that they have a greenhouse effect that is hundreds to tens of thousands of times that of carbon dioxide, causing global warming.
We must stop global warming somehow. Hiraiwa Netsugaku has started to use positively natural refrigerants.
To protect the global environment and achieve a sustainable society, we think our responsibility is huge because we have been installing freezer and refrigerating system for over 40 years.
What is “Natural Refrigerant”?
Refrigerants that use HFC (hydrofluorocarbon), which is called an artificially created alternative freon are the main nowadays. The difficulty with HFCs is that they have a greenhouse effect that is hundreds to tens of thousands of times that of carbon dioxide, causing global warming.
It has a low warming coefficient and does not destroy the ozone layer.
Since the natural refrigerant is a hydrocarbon-based natural refrigerant, it has almost no influence for the environment, and is a new energy that is nature-friendly and has been put into practical use in European countries in these days.
On the way to switch from Freon to natural refrigerant becomes realistic !
Nowadays, to avoid global warming is a very important global issue for us, and our urgent mission is to switch to natural refrigerants immediately.
However, there are many customers who worries about whether to introduce it because of the high installation cost and the difficulty of danger to handle it.
A high-cost solution is a government subsidy to promote the transition from CFCs to natural refrigerants.
We at Hiraiwa Netsugaku recommend changing some of the equipment to natural refrigerants in the factory instead of making them non-fluorocarbon all at once.
For example, about taxi companies, when they try to introduce one electric car for the first, That way, you can reduce your initial investment.
