Wholesale fruit distributor Ortolan is using Honeywell's Solstice L40X (R-455A) refrigerant in its new storage warehouse in Marmande, southwest France.
The application of Solstice L40X enables Ortolan to meet strict F-Gas environmental regulations and delivers the performance it requires at the lowest possible global warming potential (GWP), supporting the company’s environmental vision for the site. |
Solstice L40X was recommended to Ortolan by Quercy Refrigeration, a provider of sustainable refrigeration solutions, following consultation with Climalife, its refrigerant distributor and a Honeywell partner. Quercy, which designed the new warehouse’s refrigeration system, felt that Solstice L40X offered higher energy efficiency than alternative solutions, enabling a rapid cooling cycle, and that it also presented a low flammability risk that allowed a higher refrigerant charge.
Julien Soulet, vice president and general manager, Honeywell Fluorine Products Europe, Middle East, Africa and India, said: “Solstice L40X is ideal for fresh and sensitive product applications where environmental considerations are increasingly important. For Ortolan, the solution offers a compelling total cost of ownership proposition, while fulfilling sustainability objectives and full compliance with regulations.”
Solstice® L40X (R-455A) is a mildly flammable, zeotropic blend that serves as an alternative for low-, medium- and high-temperature applications in new systems. Its low GWP of 146 (IPCC AR5) makes it F-Gas compliant and ideal for commercial and industrial refrigeration applications, including condensing units, water loop systems, plug-in cabinets, monoblocks for cold rooms, heat pumps and chillers.
