Green Cooling provides cutting-edge air conditioning and heating systems, designed to maximise energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Our expert team ensures the correct specification, design, and installation of systems tailored to your unique requirements. From small installations to large-scale facilities, we offer complete, in-house solutions that deliver comfort, reduce energy costs, and safeguard the environment.
HFCs (Hydro-Fluoro-Carbons) are commonly used in a variety of applications including air conditioning, fire protection, refrigeration and much more. They were first introduced to the manufacturing sector after the 1992 ban of CFCs (Chloro-Fluoro-Carbons) by the Montreal Protocol.CFCs were banned due to the ozone layer damaged they caused.Nowadays, many companies in the USA and across the world market HFCs as ‘environmentally-friendly’ due to their negligible contribution to ozone layer depletion. However, these gases are anything but eco-friendly; all F-gases are contributors to climate change.
Since the 19th Century, ammonia has displaced CO2 as the premier industrial refrigerant around the world. That looks set to change after a new survey of over 1000 individuals involved in commercial and industrial refrigeration revealed some interesting results.An article from Cooling Post points out that 82% of OEMs and 91% of consultants surveyed saw CO2 as ‘a viable mainstream refrigeration technology’ moving onwards into and past the 2010's.These are encouraging signs for a technology that was once replaced by ammonia in all but a few specific industrial applications.Although this study was conducted in the US, there’s good evidence to suggest that Europe will follow suit: European supermarkets alone installed 6000 CO2 systems in 2016.
Green Cooling's manufacturing partner Enex is at the forefront of CO2 refrigeration developments, working with Danfoss to produce the highest levels of operational efficiency with CO2 Multi Ejector technology.Click here to view the PDF for more information.
In 2016, the refrigeration and air conditioning industry will see many new opportunities. These will include the chance for HVACR suppliers and users to dramatically lower costs through energy efficiency and emission reductions.Australia in particular will have the opportunity to reduce HVACR service costs by adopting new policies. By doing this, they could save $10billion per year and reduce the country's emissions by a minimum of 6%.
CO2 refrigeration has been making improvements recently, not only in the UK but all over the world. Carrefour, which is a leading supermarket retailer in Romania, opened the country's first CO2 transcritical refrigeration system. After this success, the company recently decided to install these CO2 units in 8 additional stores in Galati.Not only do these units provide refrigeration but they recover waste heat which can be used to produce hot water and warm areas of the building. By working simultaneously, this system will reduce your carbon footprint which will help businesses to save money, as well as protecting the environment.
Green Cooling are pleased to announce that we have recently been awarded one of the industry's most prestigious awards, the 'Excellence in Food Service Award.'The RAC Cooling Awards aim to reward companies for their willingness to become more environmentally friendly when developing their products. Companies from a wide range of backgrounds entered, which makes the win even more of an achievement for the Green Cooling team.To be considered for the award, we were asked to submit detailed technical information about our Twin Energy system. This innovative and efficient unit utilises the heat produced by refrigerators so that it can provide heating and hot water elsewhere in the property.
System contingency is vital in ensuring that a Food Service Refrigeration installation provides the maximum level of operational performance…Hotels and restaurants in 2015 incorporate a variety of important and critical building services and one of the main areas of technical design focus is that of ensuring that the temperature in the building meets the guest requirements 365 days per year.Air conditioning is treated with the highest priority and is designed to ensure that optimum performance and reliability are delivered with efficient equipment, robust system design and the highest levels of contingency, which are all geared towards ensuring that the comfort within the guest areas is maintained.
Did you know that the selection of Cooling & Heating equipment could provide significant BREEAM benefits?Green Cooling provide a range of natural and hydrocarbon based refrigeration systems that enable a specifier to potentially achieve over 15% of a buildings BREEAM credits via the buildings core services.A cost effective way to gain BREEAM points within the design of essential cooling and heating systems.
FREE 70°C HOT WATERREDUCE ENERGY COSTS AND CARBON EMISSIONSThe Green Cooling–TWIN ENERGY Chiller Hot Water Generator (CHWG) represents an exciting development with regard to providing low energy cooling and heating for industrial, process and HVAC applications.
