Thermo King Opens First of Eight CryoTech Fill Stations in Netherlands
Thermo King opened the first of eight R-744 refrigerant (carbon dioxide) supply and fill stations in the Netherlands last week to support companies choosing to upgrade their fleets from diesel to CryoTech, Thermo King's patented cooling technology. Thermo King, the leading manufacturer of transport temperature control systems for a variety of mobile applications and a brand of Ingersoll Rand, is opening the stations in collaboration with Yara, Europe's leading R-744 supplier. The fill stations supply award-winning CryoTech refrigerated transport units from Thermo King. These units provide transport companies with an innovative solution that offers high efficiency, low maintenance, superior performance, best-in-class pull down and minimal environmental impact. CryoTech units use recycled R-744 refrigerant in a unique open-loop system. The first six fill stations will be located in Apeldoorn, Zwolle, Amsterdam, Heerenveen, Waalwijk and Alkmaar. All the fill stations are scheduled to open in 2011 with details still being finalized for the remaining two stations.
