Carrier confirms low GWP strategy
C arrier has confirmed its
refrigerant strategy in Europe by choosing HFO refrigerants with
low global warming potential (GWP) for most of its commercial heating, ventilating and air conditioning
(HVAC) product applications. Carrier in Europe also claims to have achieved a significant reduction in the refrigerant charge in its products of up to 50% over the last five years.
The business has been working to select the best candidate to replace the HFC R134a in screw and centrifugal chillers and HFC R410A in scroll
chillers, heat pumps and rooftop units. For screw chillers an d heat pumps, Carrier chose HFO R1234ze to replace HFC R134a. With a GWP less than 1, according to the 5th Assessment Report of the International Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), R1234ze(E) is not impacted by restrictions from the EU F-Gas regulation or the Kigali Amendment of the Montreal Protocol on fluorinated greenhouse gases. It is part of the Carrier PUREtec family of long-term refrigerant solutions.
Carrier was the first to launch the newest generation of its AquaForce chillers with PUREtec refrigerant three years ago. Products in this range are improving product efficiency by an average of 10%, already exceeding Ecodesign 2021 requirements and meeting the Kigali Amendment requirements for 2036. Carrier chose HFO R1233zd(E) as the preferred long-term refrigerant for centrifugal chillers. With a GWP of 1, it is also not impacted by F-Gas regulations.
For scroll commercial chillers and heat pump ranges, currently a vailable compressor technology is not compatible with low GWP HFO refrigerants. Some solutions operate with mid-GWP HFC refrigerants and Carrier is developing a full range of cooling and heating
products that will comply with and exceed Ecodesign 2021 efficiency requirements and operate with mid-GWP HFC refrigerants.
These ranges are expected to launch soon.
Carel first quarter results show major growth
C
arel’s first quarter results for 2019 until 31 March ha ve revealed revenues of€80.10m,
up 19.5% compared to the first quarter of 2018.
Carel has also reported a net result of€8.9m, up 8.4% compared from net result of the first quarter of 2018. Francesco Nalini, group chief
executive, said: “The results recorded in the first three months of 2019 are part of the path of growth that Carel has experienced in recent y
t ye years,
confirming the value of the strategic guidelines that we have followed. “The capacity to exploit important cross-selling and up-selling options made possible by the continuous innovation of our product platforms,
together with significant commercial efforts and the contribution of the two companies acquired at the end of 2018 (Hygromatik and Recuperator), has enabled us to record an increase in revenue of close to 20%.
“The latter has translated into a net profit that has touched 9 million euros with the percentage increase in the first quarter of the past year reaching 8.4 percent. All of this has allowed us to look at the future with optimism and with the desire to improve.” This performance follows a favourable performance in all
geographical areas (EMEA, Asia Pacific, North America and South America) and across both the HVAC and refrigeration segments.
