Our group company, Ebara Refrigeration & Cooling Systems Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Ebara Refrigeration & Cooling Systems), received the Judging Committee Special Award at the 21st Ozone Layer Protection and Global Warming Prevention Awards sponsored by the Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun for its "High-efficiency Centrifugal Chiller Using HFO Refrigerant."
The features of the award-winning non-freon high-efficiency Centrifugal Chiller RTBA type are as follows:

  • The unit uses a refrigerant with a global warming potential (GWP) of 1 or less*1, which means it has a low environmental impact.
  • While using a low GWP refrigerant, the unit achieves a high efficiency of 6.4, the highest in the series, as a coefficient of performance (COP), which indicates the efficiency of the chiller.
  • The unit has a capacity range of 220-1250 refrigeration tons, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.

This product went on sale in April of this year. The refrigerant used, R1224yd(Z), is non-flammable and low-toxicity, making this turbo chiller safe and secure in addition to having a low environmental impact. And by offering a wide range of capabilities and various specifications, we are able to meet the diverse applications and requests of our customers. We have also developed technology that allows existing turbo chillers to be retrofitted with this low-GWP refrigerant by replacing some parts.

Ebara Refrigeration Systems will continue to provide customers with easy-to-use products through technological development and proposals, while also contributing to reducing the environmental impact.

*1 GWP (Global Warming Potential): A coefficient that indicates the impact on global warming. This number represents the global warming potential of other greenhouse gases, with carbon dioxide set at 1. The GWP of the new refrigerant R1224yd(Z) is less than 1/1000 of the conventional refrigerant R245fa.
