The Companies Alpes Réfrigération, Climalife and Arkema carried out a retrofit to R-427A (Forane® FX 100) during one single night at the direct refrigeration equipment of the hypermarket of the ' Hypermarché Géant Casino de Gap', having a total capacity of 450 kW.
Roebroek, is an agricultural company based in the small village of Uithuizen in the far north-east of the Netherlands, specialised in cultivating winter carrots and potatoes to be planted.
Aware of the risk of an R-22 shortage from 2010, Parabis Froid Industriel informed its customer of the situation and recommended that the chiller serving its prestigious 10,000 m² office building be retrofitted to R-427A in three stages.
In July 2009, the 'DCM - Direction du Commissariat de la Marine' (French Government Department for the Navy) undertook a conversion from R-22 of both its refrigeration plants servicing the central kitchens at the naval base.
The fact that Climalife had experience for a long time with alternative products for R-22 is confirmed by the many examples of conversions made over the course of time.
Climalife intervened on the site TDF in Rheims for an operation of draining and refilling 200 litres of glycol containing special additives to cool the two networks of amplifiers of transmitters.
