Case Study: Life Cycle Cost of Various HFC Replacements

Low GWP HFO refrigerants like Opteon™ XL are the right choice for most of your stores below 2000m²

Environmental regulations continue to force the replacement of existing HFC refrigeration systems with those that support more sustainable refrigerants with lower global warming potential (GWP). They have less of an impact on the environment; but how will the switch impact your wallet?

Research conducted by independent consultants at Wave Refrigeration looked at various low GWP solutions over the course of ten years to evaluate the total life cycle cost (LCC) of these options.

We’ve created a useful infographic with highlights from this comparative LCC analysis, which clearly shows hydrofluoroolefin (HFO) refrigerants, like Opteon™ XL, provide equal cooling performance with a lower life cycle cost than alternatives like carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons.

The decision on replacing your refrigeration technology is a big one and we want to help you make a confident, informed choice. Download our infographic and receive our new white paper, The Path to Reducing Climate Change Emissions from Commercial Refrigeration Applications. It contains a full comparison of the environmental and economical performance of various refrigeration technologies and systems, so you can be confident you’re choosing the right long-term low GWP solution.
