Summary

Even though their refrigeration systems are very large, the supermarket industry has been successful in reducing refrigerant losses. Newer stores can achieve emission rates of 15% of the charge per year. Actions to reach this goal have been targeted in three areas: design and construction, operations and maintenance, and corporate policies and practices. Besides providing systems which are better than the existing regulations, their efforts have resulted in additional benefits including reduced construction costs, reduced refrigerant costs, reduced energy costs, and reduced maintenance calls.
