For the right temperatures: refrigerants and heat transfer media from Westfalen.
The refrigeration and air conditioning industry is in the midst of change. Refrigerants that are harmful to the climate are regulated by the F-Gas Regulation and must be replaced, while more climate-friendly solutions with low GWP (Global Warming Potential) are becoming more and more important. Whether refrigeration or air conditioning systems, chillers or heat recovery systems, heat pumps or solar systems - choosing the right refrigerant and heat transfer medium has never been more difficult or more important than now.
Westfalen accompanies you in this change and supports you in your product selection. With a future-proof product range and the many years of expertise of our refrigeration experts. From versatile refrigerants to Antifrogen® heat transfer media and the reconditioning of used refrigerants.
Norbert Klostermann, Head of Business Management Refrigerants, on the role of climate protection as a driver for the further development of the refrigeration and air conditioning industry.
Refrigeration, deep-freezing, air-conditioning: The refrigerant is the central operating material of a refrigeration system. It circulates, is evaporated, compressed, liquefied and expanded. Our range of refrigerants is as diverse as the possible applications. In doing so, we rely on sustainable refrigerant solutions that meet the legal requirements and the associated environmental protection specifications. Natural refrigerants, such as our climate-neutral, TÜV-certified product Pronat® R-744, have a convincing low direct environmental impact and help to reduce the ecological footprint. Whether synthetic or natural - we supply you with the refrigerant that suits your requirements and also support you in everyday life when things get tight: Express deliveries or emergency service? Detailed questions about the F-Gas Regulation? Safe handling of flammable refrigerants? We are there for you and help you to keep a cool head at all times.
Water is an excellent carrier of heat and cold. However, it has side effects: In combination with oxygen and other air components, water has a corrosive effect. At temperatures below zero, it loses its flowability. Our heat transfer media offer the perfect combination of frost and corrosion protection: tailored to your requirements, our Antifrogen® heat transfer media ensure the long-term safety of your systems. Whether for refrigeration and air-conditioning systems, refrigeration and freezer counters in the food sector, heat pump systems or solar collectors with high thermal loads - our Antifrogen® products are ideal for use as anti-freeze and anti-corrosion agents.
How do you recycle your used refrigerants as effectively and resource-efficiently as possible? With Westfalen. We have been offering the reprocessing of pure refrigerants for almost 30 years. After reprocessing, the refrigerant is equivalent in quality to a new product. In the case of unmixed refrigerants, we supply most of them as raw materials to the chemical industry for recycling. Through the reprocessing of refrigerants, we provide you with technically proven refrigerants - taking into account the F-Gas Regulation - in a quota-neutral manner.
Service and advice: We strengthen your refrigerant know-how.
Which refrigerant is the right one for which system? What does the F-Gas Regulation mean for you personally? What do you have to consider with the new, flammable refrigerants? Our team of refrigeration experts can help you with questions like these. We take care of your requirements from A to Z. Service and an open ear for your issues are what set us apart.
The F-Gas Regulation is driving the change in the European refrigeration and air conditioning industry towards more climate protection: refrigerants with a high GWP value are gradually disappearing from the market, and more climate-friendly but often flammable refrigerants are gaining in importance. We have summarised the most important facts for you.
