Towards a sustainable society, these are not just words to Veld Koeltechniek BV. As the first in the Netherlands, this family business from the Achterhoek provides a refrigeration system using natural CO2 as sole refrigerant medium. Climate-neutral therefore environmentally friendly, safe and with a lower energy consumption than existing equipment. Thanks to government incentives investment in this green refrigeration system is cost-neutral for supermarket entrepreneurs.


CO2 as sole refrigerant

A first: Climate-neutral system using natural CO2 as sole refrigerant medium

Veld Koeltechniek (150 employees) is located in Groenlo. Pragmatic and with both feet on the ground, this service provider in refrigeration and freezer units serves buyers within the industry, wholesale and retail sector. A nationwide service department is accessible 24 hours a day.


Spirit of the times

Veld is an innovative company that does not wait but moves forward in the spirit of the times. Head of Retail Erwin Wilms: "A better environment, green, sustainability, these are issues that we take very seriously and they are also high on the agenda of our customers, the government and consumers. We want to be a thinking partner to entrepreneurs to help them find ways to reduce their energy consumption and in the process contribute to a better environment. Developments in the supermarket industry, such as day covers for islands, DC fans and LED lighting in refrigeration and freezer units, heat recovery, etc., which we wholeheartedly support and for which our customers rightfully turn to us, have been underway for many years. At Veld, we have taken it a step further and designed a refrigeration system where the chemical refrigerant medium (HCFC/CFC) is replaced by a natural refrigerant medium. A system that runs on 100% CO2 in a technical environment (transcritical booster) is unique. We are the first to bring it to the market.”

Energy saving/Environmentally friendly

The benefits of 100% CO2 as a refrigerant are great. "As alternative to chemical refrigerants, CO2 is safe and environmentally friendly as it is climate-neutral and energy efficient. A CO2-powered system has a lower energy consumption (up to 5% savings) and achieves a higher degree of heat recovery than existing systems. Thanks to government incentives, the investment is virtually the same as with an existing system. In short, less energy costs and concern for the environment for the same amount of money, as supermarket you cannot wish for better than that.”
