Natural refrigerants in the focus of the food retail industry

When the EuroShop 2011, the world’s biggest trade fair for the investment needs of the retail industry, closed its doors, one fact was obvious: what already developed to be a trend in the last few years presented itself to be a mega trend at this year’s EuroShop 2011 – almost all product news of the refrigeration and deep freezing industry at the EuroShop were based on the use of natural refrigerants. Particularly CO2.

Among the 2.000 exhibitors of the fair, the who-is-who of retail suppliers of the areas of refrigeration units and refrigeration systems as well as numerous component manufacturers. Bock was also present as one of the pioneers when it comes to compressor technology for natural refrigerants.

At the Bock booth in hall 17, the company presented different compressor solutions for the use of natural refrigerants and energy efficient systems.

Among those solutions were compressors optimised especially for the refrigerant R134a for hybrid systems, the efficiency optimised compressors of the e-series, the Plug & Play EFC system and numerous compressor solutions for the use of hydrocarbons and CO2 as a refrigerant.

Berthold Schnase, responsible for national sales, draws a positive balance of the 5 days at the trade fair: “the EuroShop is the ideal platform to present our new solutions in the area of supermarket refrigeration. We had many promising contacts with target customers at our booth and see a lot of potential in our new 4-Zylinder CO2 compressors.“
