Transcritical CO2, R290 Propane and Low-GWP Refrigeration Racks

Tailored cooling capacity, driven by advanced technologies using natural refrigerants (CO_2, R290) and eco-efficient synthetic refrigerants to maximise your energy performance.

The Thermal Heart of Your Refrigeration Infrastructure

In logistics warehouses, large retail stores and food plants, the refrigeration rack is the central source of cooling. It must deliver continuous cooling capacity, adapt instantly to load changes and maintain high coefficients of performance (COP) to limit the impact on your electricity bill.
At Afric Froid, we design, assemble and integrate tailored multi-compressor refrigeration racks, configured for your specific temperature needs (chilled, frozen or three-temperature) and your environmental strategy.

Our Refrigeration Rack Technologies

We master the full range of compression and refrigerant technologies to meet every operating constraint.

Transcritical & Subcritical CO2 (R744) Racks

Technology: Carbon dioxide is a natural refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP=0) and a negligible global warming potential (GWP=1).

Applications: Supermarkets, hypermarkets, logistics warehouses, processing plants.

Benefits: Excellent thermodynamic performance for low-temperature applications, with high-temperature heat recovery to produce free hot water.

Propane (R290) & Hydrocarbon Racks

Technology: Units running on the natural refrigerant R290, offering very high energy efficiency. R290 is a flammable refrigerant (class A3): charge and installation are defined in accordance with EN 378.

Applications: Chillers, compact outdoor racks, water-loop systems.

Benefits: A future-proof solution not subject to F-Gas regulations, with a very low refrigerant charge and exceptional energy efficiency.

Low-GWP Synthetic Refrigerant Racks (A2L / HFO)

Technology: Racks running on the new generation of HFO/HFC blends (e.g. R454C, R455A, R513A).

Applications: Retrofit replacement of old R404A/R22 racks, food processing, hotels and catering.

Benefits: A safe transition, compatible with many existing systems, with a significantly lower carbon footprint.
