Commercial Refrigeration

Zanotti is a leading manufacturer of refrigeration systems for commercial, industrial and transport applications. It works with CO₂, propane and ammonia, but is aware that these are not suitable for every application. When Honeywell’s Solstice® L40X (R-455A) came to its attention, Zanotti embarked on a test programme to assess the refrigerant as a potential replacement for R-404A in its range of monoblock cooling systems. Mindful of the necessity to further develop their systems for use with refrigerants showing lowest-possible global warming potential (GWP), Zanotti found in R-455A an optimal solution for such applications.

• Solstice L40X (R-455A) is a zeotropic blend refrigerant which is designed for low-, medium- and high-temperature applications in new systems.
• Low GWP of only 146, compliant with the F-Gas Regulation
• Close capacity match to R-404A and, compared to a propane (R-290) refrigerant, extended capacity by 20%, with improved energy efficiency and a similar COP
• Lower flammability risk than R-290.
• Suitable for plug-in type cabinets, condensing units, waterloop systems and monoblocks for cold rooms and freezer rooms, heat pumps, and chillers.
