Commercial Refrigeration

Commercial Refrigeration products can be very diverse in terms of size, refrigerant type and charge weight. Production equipment flexibility becomes a key factor in this market. Productivity is typically low to medium and for some applications allows the integration of additional functions, such as leak testing and pre-evacuation, within the refrigerant charging equipment. Typical refrigerants include R134aR404aHFO Blends (e.g. R448, R513a) and R290 (Propane).

Domestic Refrigeration

Domestic Refrigerators production is characterized by highly automated, fast-paced assembly lines with limited process variability. This market is currently transitioning from R134a to R600a refrigerant, requiring large investments in production line re-engineering and new flammable refrigerant capable production equipment. High charging accuracy is paramount given the current limitations of R600a charge weight. Automation and process data traceability are other key requirements for this market. VTech offers complete turn-key solutions for R600a refrigerant charging including regulatory compliance and engineering support during the whole life of the project.
