CO₂ refrigeration — the new standard in modern agriculture
CO₂-based refrigeration systems are becoming the standard among advanced agricultural enterprises.
The reasons are clear:
🌿 Eco-friendly: CO₂ is a natural refrigerant with minimal environmental impact.
⚙️ Reliable: It operates stably even under peak storage loads.
This is especially important for storing blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, and currants, which are highly sensitive to temperature and humidity fluctuations.
Heat recovery: saving energy without compromise
RalcoTechnik’s heat recovery systems utilize excess heat from refrigeration units for:
-
Heating warehouses and offices
-
Preheating process or domestic water
-
Maintaining optimal temperature in packaging areas
Thus, your facility not only cools the product efficiently, but also reduces overall energy costs.
