Frequently Asked Questions

What is R744?

R744 is a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional refrigerants.
  • Non-toxic
  • Non-flammable
  • Economical
  • Energy efficient
  • Eco-Friendly

R744 grade CO2 is the optimal choice for equipment due to it’s low moisture content. The higher purity gas prevents corrosion and ice crystal deposits that can be damaging. Additionally, CO2 is non-toxic and non-flammable, more environmentally friendly and economical, and more energy efficient than common refrigerant alternatives.

It is commonly used in:

  • Commercial Refrigeration
  • Industrial Refrigeration
  • Heat Pumps
  • Vending Machines
  • Transport Refrigeration
  • Ice Rinks

How do plants use Carbon Dioxide?

Plants use light and carbon dioxide to synthesize sugar, which allows them to grow. Introducing additional carbon dioxide to the environment means more sugar is synthesized, making plants grow bigger and faster.

What does anaerobic mean?

Anaerobic means without Oxygen.
