Public debut for NaturaLINE

Revealing the new unit, David Appel, president, Carrier Transicold, said, “NaturaLINE provides the global shipping industry with the most environmentally sound alternative for refrigerated transport,” adding that it is the only system to offer a natural refrigerant-based solution.

Carrier claims that by using CO2 its new unit delivers efficiencies equal to and improving upon its PrimeLINE unit, which itself reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 28% compared to previous units. Both units also reduce on-board power generation requirements, helping shipping lines save fuel. This, in turn, helps hold down operating costs and reduce emissions related to power generation.

“NaturaLINE demonstrates how technological innovation can reduce the impact on climate change, continuing Carrier’s long-standing commitment to providing sustainable solutions,” Appel said.
