Frequently Asked Questions

What does anaerobic mean?

Anaerobic means without Oxygen.

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.

R744 Carbon Dioxide

You already know that R744 is a safer and more efficient alternative to traditional refrigerants, but did you know you can get it from General Air?

  • Non-toxic
  • Non-flammable
  • Economical
  • Energy efficient
  • Eco-Friendly

Coleman grade CO2 is the optimal choice for equipment using R744 refrigerant 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.
