Gaining Wider Adoption
Modern refrigeration technologies have evolved to ensure equipment safety and support the use of R-290 in an expanding range of applications. Today, R-290 is primarily used in self-contained display cases that feature a built-in condensing unit. These cases have been in service for more than a decade in Europe and have become increasingly popular in the U.S. in recent years.
Smaller-format retailers are leveraging self-contained, R-290 cases in distributed architectures; larger retailers see these solutions as flexible spot merchandising options.
