5C: Cryo-City for Cleaner Cold Chain
5C: Cryo-City for Cleaner Cold Chain - A cryogenic solution for last mile transportation in cities
CryoCity is an innovation for Light Carrier Vehicle refrigeration unit using dry-ice. It offers sustainability, silence and operational excellence.
The solution works by injecting liquid CO2 that is then instantaneously transformed to dry-ice; a powerful cold source at -78°C to keep products under temperature control in a refrigerated truck. Recyclable CO2 is used as coolant/refrigerant to maintain the goods' temperature and in turn, reduces environmental impact: no pollution, no engine, and no noise. CryoCity is also an ideal solution for cold production that can be easily combined with a clean motorization: electric, biogas, hydrogen or hybrid.
Key features
- •Savings of 3 tons of CO2eq (equivalent carbon content) per year per unit.
- •Zero emissions: CO2, HFC (hydrofluorocarbons)
Profitability
- •An improved ecological footprint and cold chain quality at no additional cost, or even slightly lower than the alternatives.
