Mark Tomooka presents an overview of Mayekawa’s extensive range of natural refrigerant solutions and technology development projects including high efficiency motors and microchannel technology. 85% of Mayekawa’s package sales use natural refrigerants and these are predominantly used in industrial systems. A recent project involved the installation of a CO₂ ECOCUTE heat pump at a winery, which eliminated the use of harsh chemicals for wash down, was 1.35 of the cost of a conventional system and had a three year payback. Chief growth areas for the future are supermarkets, R22 chiller replacement, and low charge ammonia systems.
