Applications & Use Cases

Freezers & Cold Storage in Germany

R404A is the go-to refrigerant for:

Industrial Cold Storage Facilities: Transport-temperature control for food imports/exports in Hamburg, Rotterdam, and Bremerhaven.
Pharmaceutical & Biotech Cold Rooms: Specialty freezers requiring precise –40 °C control (e.g., vaccine storage) in Berlin and Munich.
Retail Supermarket Freezers: Multi-zone display cases in major German grocery chains (EDEKA, Rewe, Lidl).

Supermarket & Food Distribution Centers

Walk-In Freezers: Ensuring reliable storage of meat and dairy products in regional distribution hubs.
Blast Freezing Tunnels: Rapid freezing of fresh produce and seafood for German wholesale markets.
Cold Chain Transportation: Compatible with mobile refrigeration units used by food logistics providers in Germany.

Pressure-Temperature Profile

Boiling Point (1 atm): –46.6 °C
Evaporation Pressure at –40 °C: ~0.4 bar (gauge)
Condensing Pressure at 40 °C: ~17.5 bar (gauge)
These properties ensure stable operation in deep-freeze environments common in German food distribution and pharmaceutical cold storage.
