PRO Refrigeration Inc, has recently launched their groundbreaking PROGreen Hybrid Packaged Chiller System. This new solution merges two independent refrigeration systems combined into a single packaged chiller system. What makes this pairing unique is one system utilizes all-natural CO2/R744 as a refrigerant while the other system utilizes R448, a synthetic refrigerant with a Global Warming Potential (GWP) under 1300.
Like industries and businesses worldwide, PRO strives to achieve environmental sustainability and reduce their carbon footprint, the need for eco-friendly refrigeration systems has become more crucial than ever. PRO recognizes the challenges faced by customers when transitioning to natural (or any new) refrigerants and the need for efficient, user-friendly solutions. With the PROGreen Hybrid Solution, the company aims to make the transition easier by offering a reliable solution that combines the best natural refrigerant option with one of the ”best” synthetic based refrigerants currently in the market.
PRO chose to develop the “Hybrid Machine” 3 years after they launched their PROGreen Packaged CO2-Charged Chiller System. The team and their partners have gone through rigorous field testing at breweries and dairy farms from Bakersfield, CA, to the foothills of the Denali National Park in AK. The PRO team focused on proving the benefits of a CO2 based system, while learning all that it takes to install, service, and maintain this equipment and also finding the limits of this design.
