Secop will showcase its complete variable-speed propane compressor range for supermarket cabinets at Chillventa 2026, paired with three tiers of electronic control. The display includes the new entry-level NLVE15CN and a preview of the NLV New Generation platform, all targeting the EU F-Gas transition.
A pilot project in Volgograd demonstrates how a secondary-loop architecture using propylene glycol enables the use of natural refrigerant R290 in retail without long refrigerant piping in the sales floor.
Polair has started manufacturing single-door refrigerated tables with bottom-mounted units. The new models are available in medium-temperature and low-temperature configurations, in two depth options (600 and 700 mm), and in various equipment packages. The company states the tables are aimed at the professional segment where space saving and integration into specific production workflows matter.
Polair has introduced the Future series of refrigerated cabinets, unifying all temperature variants in a single monolithic body with 61 mm walls and adopting cassette (modular) units for the refrigerant circuit. The reduced overall depth increases storage volume on the same floor area. The series is now available for order.
Polair has released a compact three-tier blast freezer CRp3-2/3-L for GN 2/3 containers, designed for worktops with a depth of at least 700 mm. According to the manufacturer, the model delivers cooling and freezing capacity comparable to full-size blast freezers.
Polair GC is a line of commercial refrigerated tables featuring bottom- and side-mounted units, mid- and low-temperature operation, door or drawer configurations, and various worktop options. The equipment is used in restaurants, pizzerias, retail stores, and bakeries. Polair Group has also announced two promotions: a 15% discount on refrigerated cabinets and machines (February–May 2026) and reduced prices on compact models under the «Polair + Radax» campaign (March–June 2025).
Daikin Europe has commissioned Europe's first CO2-based VRV system at a Denns BioMarkt supermarket in Wiesbaden, Germany, integrating it with propane-based built-in refrigeration equipment under a unified BMS control. The CO2 VRV range currently features a single 10 HP outdoor unit; scaling across the full VRV lineup and chillers is planned for 2028.
Ariada has introduced a dual-airflow technology for open refrigerated gondolas: two independent air streams — one for product cooling and one forming an air curtain at the display front. The solution is already available in the Geneva line and allows operation without doors or physical barriers while maintaining a stable internal temperature.
Ariada factory launches a new factory option: compact casters for medium-temperature and universal refrigerated cabinets. The option is installed on the production line and does not extend standard manufacturing or delivery times.
The manufacturer also reports a PIR panel line upgrade and buffer stocks of popular refrigerated cabinets.
