Carrier Transicold offers lower GWP refrigerant for PrimeLINE units

Carrier Transicold is offering a provision to use the R-513A refrigerant with its PrimeLINE contianer unit for customers seeking a refrigerant with lower global warming potential (GWP).

The option acts as a hedge against potential regulatory changes that may affect the availability and prices of traditional hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants.

Willy Yeo, director of marketing, global container refrigeration, Carrier Transicold, said: “Phasedowns of traditional HFC refrigerants due to their higher GWP have raised concerns about their future availability and pricing, and some of our customers have indicated an interest in using R-513A as an alternative.”
