Sanyo today announced the development a CO2 Refrigerant Direct Expansion Type Refrigeration System using a natural refrigerant (CO2), the first of its kind in Japan, for use as a refrigeration system for supermarket freezer showcases. The natural refrigerant CO2 has a very low global warming potential compared to an alternative fluorocarbon (about one four-thousandth), and can therefore greatly contribute to the prevention of global warming.
Sanyo will continue to help realize comfortable store environments while preventing further global warming, by accelerating the development and application of CO2 compressor technology, in order to promote a low-carbon society.
