Polair Grande now allows replacing swing doors on refrigeration tables with drawer units without replacing the entire unit. The feature is available for models with a side-mounted compressor unit manufactured no earlier than early December 2025.
The revised rule permits HFC-based equipment with GWP below 1,400 in retail food and cold storage through 2032, while the AIM Act phasedown will cut U.S. HFC production and consumption to 70% of baseline by 2029 and 85% by 2036. EPA analysis projects that HFC demand will exceed available allocations starting in 2029, and international experience shows legacy HFC prices rose over 1,000% in Europe and nearly tripled in Australia after quota reductions.
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.
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.
