Aldi Nord natural refrigerants as standard for new stores

Case Study - Refrigeration / Commercial

As of 2017, Aldi Nord owns 4,876 stores, of which five are CO2 cascade systems. Aldi Nord claims that natural refrigerants are now standard for all new stores. They aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2021 compared to 2015. All cooling systems will be CO2 while deep freezers and overhead units will use propane (R-290) plus heat recovery systems. As of 2017, a digital monitoring system to reduce the leak rate was installed in German stores with France and the Netherlands to follow.
