The company announced that it teamed up with natural refrigeration-technology specialist Carrier Transicold for a two-year trial of its NaturaLINE HFC-free refrigeration system in a work refrigerated trailer.
NaturaLINE was initially developed for deep-sea refrigerated containers and uses two stages of CO2 compression with a variable speed drive and a unique cylinder-uploading capability allowing the compressor to save energy in light-load conditions.
