Refrigeration
Innovation for a cooler future
New EU regulations on F-gases have created challenges for chiller and heat pump manufacturers. Low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants and natural refrigerants have become the new standard, forcing many manufacturers to rethink their systems. SWEP has the experience and know-how to help you transition away from high GWP refrigerants and toward more environmentally friendly alternatives like CO2 and ammonia.
Designed for refrigeration
SWEP heat exchangers are highly efficient, compact, and versatile. They are perfect for use in a wide range of refrigeration applications, including in supermarkets, truck and trailer cooling, and marine transport. We work closely with local system builders to design solutions that deliver high COP, a low lifecycle cost, and a reduced payback time.
- Optimized for low-GWP refrigerants
- Lower lifecycle costs
- Improved COP in refrigeration systems
SUPERMARKET REFRIGERATION
Save money and energy
Refrigeration accounts for almost half of the energy consumption of a typical grocery store in the US. SWEP brazed plate heat exchangers can save energy and money.
TRANSPORT REFRIGERATION
A vital part of the cold chain
Transport refrigeration is a vital part of the cold chain.Perishable goods require reliable, consistent cooling from origin to destination.
Sustainability
TRANSCRITICAL CO2
Low cost, low GWP
CO2 is key to many refrigeration applications, and its development potential for use in new applications is broad. CO2 is natural, low cost, and low GWP, with a proven track record in all types of refrigeration systems, and the pace at which it is replacing HFCs is accelerating. To make refrigeration systems even more efficient, CO2 also offers greater opportunities for reclaiming heat, even in winter conditions, than conventional systems do.
SWEP All-Stainless™ for refrigeration
All stainless brazed plate heat exchangers are robust and corrosion resistant. They are the ideal choice for ammonia-based refrigeration systems that must remain strictly copper-free.
Face the future with SWEP
SWEP is investing heavily in new laboratories that have the capacity to handle next-generation refrigerants. In close cooperation with customers and component suppliers, we’re developing new solutions for replacing high-GWP refrigerants with low-GWP alternatives. We believe that expanding our knowledge and expertise is the key to optimizing our existing products and developing new ones, for the benefit of our customers and the planet.
