The Chemours Company (Chemours) and Dawsonrentals temperature control solutions (Dawsonrentals), a UK-based supplier of cold storage solutions for temperature-critical products, collaborated on the first commercial implementation of very low global warming potential (GWP) HFO-(hydrofluoroolefin) based refrigerant blend technology in a new logistics and storage facility at Park Cakes’ production site in Oldham, UK, opting for OpteonTM XL40 instead of R-404A.

The leading-edge project between Chemours and Dawsonrentals demonstrates how the use of groundbreaking, innovative technology can help meet the needs of Cold Chain operators under the F-Gas Regulation throughout Europe. To those installing new equipment, the project serves as an excellent example of how to avoid the pitfalls that come with continued use of high GWP legacy HFCs.
