Committed to reducing ozone depletion

Until concerns about depletion of the ozone layer arose in the 1980s, the most widely used refrigerants were R-12 and R-22but Klinge was one of the first transport refrigeration manufacturers to produce equipment that used the more environmentally-friendly refrigerants R-134a and R-404a and its use of alternative refrigerants has helped to phase out ozone-depleting refrigerants.

Klinge’s explosion-proof refrigerated containers (reefers) ensure that hazardous materials are kept safe in potentially explosive environments and they are designed for safe operation in Hazardous Zone 2 areas: a unit for operation in Hazardous Zone 1 areas is expected to be released in the summer of 2012.

Klinge’s dual reefer system has numerous built-in fail-safes to ensure hazardous materials are kept safe during storage and transport. The dual refrigerated container has two full capacity reefer units, automatic switch-over in case of an emergency, back-up power supply, and temperature monitoring.
