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.
