They are easy to move, take up little space and adapt perfectly to different business structures.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/uploadsassetsCase_studiesCC9softice3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"280\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A small share of the Soft Ice and ice cream preparation machine range is charged with 1.7 kg of R-404A refrigerant.<\/p>\n<p>Before the new F-Gas regulations came into force, these machines were not subject to leak-detection testing as the refrigerant load did not exceed the 3kg threshold. The installer, keen to comply with legislation, has faced a real problem since 1 January 2015: 1.7 kg of R-404A is 6.67 tonnes CO2 equivalent, which calls for leak-detection testing every 12 months.<\/p>\n<p><strong>But how can this regulatory requirement be applied to machines that are, in many cases, difficult to locate and not covered by a mainte\u00acnance contract?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The installer, on the lookout for an alternative to replace the R-404A, tested a new refriger\u00adant, <a href=\"\/solstice-n40\/r-448a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Solstice\u00ae N40<\/a>, which has a GWP of 1387. \u00a0The comparative values measured hardly differ from one another and the conversion solution, <a href=\"\/solstice-n40\/r-448a\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">R-448A<\/a>, lets the owner comply with the regu\u00adlations in force.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/uploadsassetsCase_studiesCC9softice2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"165\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I cannot notice any difference with regards to the quality of the ice cream. The machine works perfectly well and it did not require a lot of adjustments or investment. It is a sustainable solution that is suitable for the future and lets me deal with regulatory changes when I repair these machines. \u00a0 With this solution, we can put an end to some of our clients\u2019 concerns,&#8221; concludes Mr Schipperen.<\/p>\n<table width=\"315\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>7\u00b0C<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Amp.<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Watt.<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>LP<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>HP<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>R-404A<\/td>\n<td>3.05<\/td>\n<td>1270<\/td>\n<td>1.11<\/td>\n<td>16.31<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>R-448A<\/td>\n<td>331<\/td>\n<td>1350<\/td>\n<td>1.15<\/td>\n<td>16.45<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bart Schipperen, manager of the company, Europa Ice, based in Druten, in the Nether\u00adlands, specialises in the maintenance of Italian Carpigiani machines for the production of soft, creamy and tasty ice cream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":140632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9162],"tags":[],"product_cat":[],"class_list":["post-154914","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-studii-de-caz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154914","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154914"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154914\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":203325,"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154914\/revisions\/203325"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154914"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154914"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154914"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/climalife.com\/ro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=154914"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
