Manitowoc CO2-based Multiplex beverage systems offer beverage dispensing and energy performance comparable to existing units with the added benefit of using no HFC-based (hydrofluorocarbon) refrigerants. By replacing HFC-based refrigerants with naturally occurring carbon dioxide, units reduce the environmental footprint of the beverage systems, eliminate the need for special handling and capture of ozone-depleting refrigerants, and contribute to a greener facility. Three test units were used by McDonald's in two of its Olympic venue facilities in Beijing, China. For more information, visit www.manitowocfsg.com/sales/energymizer.asp. Manitowoc Foodservice Group
