Benoit Rodier, CIMCO Refrigeration, explained the company’s technology evolution and how they had partnered with Mayekawa USA (MYCOM) to introduce the NewTon product to the North American market. The compressor includes an NH₃/CO₂ brine solution and is set to alleviate problems pertaining to large NH₃ plants in the U.S., where operators and contractors to install and maintain the systems can be difficult to find. Many NewTon systems have been installed in Japan, where the phase out of R22 has been accelerated; something Rodier would like to see in the U.S.
