Sustainability

Square builds energy saving freezers, natural refrigerant compressor skids, and thick PIR panels to cut power use and carbon emissions in food plants.

Environmental Commitment

Built for a Low Carbon Cold Chain

Freezing and refrigeration use a major share of energy in food plants. We cut power consumption through natural refrigerants, heat recovery, Hennecke PIR insulation, and efficient fan control.

  • Natural Refrigerants

    Ammonia (NH3) has zero ODP, zero GWP, and the highest efficiency in industrial cooling. CO2 (R744) has a GWP of 1 and strong low temperature performance. Both avoid EU F-gas phase down risks.

  • Energy Efficiency

    We optimize coil fin spacing, defrost timing, airflow balance, and compressor staging to deliver more cooling per kilowatt of power.

  • PIR Insulation Technology

    PIR foam insulates far better per millimeter than standard PUR, cutting cold room heat gain and compressor running hours.

  • Heat Recovery

    Our heat recovery systems capture compressor waste heat to produce hot water for washdown, space heating, or process preheating.

  • Equipment Longevity

    Building core stainless steel structures and pressure vessels in our own plants gives our equipment a 20 to 25 year service life.

  • GWP Compliant Portfolio

    Our full equipment range meets EU F-gas rules and global refrigerant standards, protecting your plant investment for decades.
