Ingersoll Rand has reached another milestone in achieving its climate commitment, a roadmap to significantly reduce the environmental impact from its operations and product . 

It has created the EcoWise portfolio of products for its climate and industrial refrigerant-bearing products that are designed to lower environmental impact with next generation, low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants and high efficiency operation. These products are compatible with and can use next generation low GWP refrigerants, reduce environmental impact by lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and maintain or improve safety and energy efficiency through innovative design.  

Didier Teirlinck, executive vice president for the Climate businesses of Ingersoll Rand, said: “The Ingersoll Rand EcoWise portfolio is a demonstration of our commitment to reducing the impact on the environment, and providing more sustainable product choices for our customers – particularly as they make the transition to products using next generation, low GWP refrigerants. In addition to the series of products we are announcing today, the company will continue to introduce commercial, residential and transport HVAC, and transport refrigeration products that achieve the criteria for the EcoWise endorsement.”

The first products to earn the EcoWise endorsement are the Trane Sintesis air-cooled chiller and the Trane Series E CenTraVac.

In September last year Ingersoll Rand unveiled a roadmap to significantly increase energy efficiency and reduce the environmental impact from its operations and product portfolio by 2030 (with milestones at 2020). Click here http://bit.ly/1v0Zn6G to read that story on ACR-News.com
