"We really need to improve the supply chain, especially lowering the transport costs... And also, the cold storage, so the fish won't go bad, the other products harvested by our farmers won't go bad either."
Why CO₂ (R744) is the Future of Commercial Refrigeration
The Philippines is committed to phasing down HFC consumption by 80% by 2045 under the Kigali Amendment. CO₂ refrigeration protects your investment for decades.
Traditional HFC Systems
- High GWP refrigerants (1,430-2,346) facing phase-out
- Massive electricity consumption and operating costs
- Temperature glide reduces efficiency and capacity
- PFAS "forever chemical" contamination concerns
- Expensive refrigerant prices and limited supply
- Regulatory compliance risk and stranded assets
iCOOL CO₂ Solutions
- GWP of 1 — completely exempt from phase-downs
- Up to 50% lower energy consumption
- Single-component refrigerant — no glide issues
- Natural, non-toxic, PFAS-free substance
- Abundant and inexpensive refrigerant
- Future-proof for 50+ year lifecycle
Natural & Non-Toxic
Non-flammable, non-toxic, zero ozone depletion. The safest choice for food-contact applications.
Superior Thermodynamics
Exceptional efficiency at high ambient temperatures — ideal for tropical climates. Higher volumetric capacity means smaller equipment.
Lower Total Cost
CO₂ is abundant and inexpensive vs synthetic HFCs. Combined with reduced energy consumption, total cost of ownership drops dramatically.
Proven "Made in EU" Technology
Built around Panasonic's advanced 2-stage CO₂ rotary compressor — proven in over 10,000 installations across 3,700 locations throughout Japan.
Transcritical CO₂ Cycle
- High-Pressure OperationAbove critical point (73.8 bar, 31 °C) for superior heat rejection at tropical ambient temperatures.
- Wide Temperature RangePrecise cooling from 0 °C to -40 °C — chilled, medium-temp, and low-temp in a single system.
- Simultaneous Heat RecoveryExtract waste heat during cooling for free hot water — perfect for CIP cycles and sanitation.
Advanced Control & Monitoring
- Inverter-Driven CompressorsVariable-speed operation matches demand in real-time, eliminating wasteful on/off cycling.
- Cloud-Connected IIoTRemote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and real-time performance optimisation.
- Smart Grid ReadyIntegrates with solar PV and demand response to shift load to off-peak hours.
