Keyfrost Environmental Sensitivity
European regulation 517/2014 establishes the rules relating to the marketing of HFC-containing equipment and products. One-piece refrigerant machines fall under item 12 and may use refrigerant gases with GWP less than 2500. Keyfrost produces ranges of monoblocks that use different refrigerants including R449A, R290, R455A etc.
Given the increasingly stringent regulations and the technological availability, Keyfrost wanted to develop and support, above all, the expansion of the monoblock range using R455A refrigerant. Where possible it is therefore recommended to use monoblocks at R455A and/or R290. R455A machines have a 90% lower environmental impact, due to the refrigerant charge, in terms of CO2eq.

Destinations of use, intended and unintended use
Keyfrost refrigeration equipment is agri-food machinery (MACHINE DIRECTIVE 2006/42/EC), intended for treatment
of food products.
The machine is intended for the preservation of “fresh“ foodstuffs and/or products at the temperatures indicated in the annexes.
It was designed to be able to work at room temperature from +16°C to +43°C (class T).
It was designed to maintain a certain temperature in a cold room designed for such use.
The machine is not intended to be installed and used in cells located outside.
The machine is not intended to be installed and used in an atmosphere at risk of explosion.
Any use outside the permitted ones is considered “improper use“ and therefore the manufacturer disclaims any responsibility for it.
The unit is not intended to be used for the storage of products that develop corrosive substances.
