Leonidas opts for Forane® 427A to replace R-22
Food industry
Leonidas, the world-famous Belgian chocolateer, has converted the refrigeration unit in the final tunnel of its chocolate production line to Forane® 427A.
Last March, following the breakdown of its refrigeration system, Mr. Pollin, Technical Manager of the Leonidas plant at Anderlecht, Belgium, elected to replace the damaged compressor with a unit designed for HFCs with a view to phasing out R-22 by the end of 2009.
After a presentation of replacement solutions for R-22 and technical advice from Climalife, Leonidas chose Forane® 427A because the performance of this HFC mix came close to that of R-22
The installation dating from 1987 is equipped with a semi-airtight 15 CV Frascold compressor with a 35 kW refrigeration output.
