RIMI wants to leave the smallest possible carbon footprint with the refrigeration system. The renewed RIMI stores have installed the natural refrigerant CO2 cooling system to guarantee both energy savings and to ensure a reduction of their impact on the environment. The energy generated by the CO2 refrigeration system is used to generate electricity, to heat and cool the store premises, and to heat water.
To guarantee the quality and freshness of the products on display, RIMI has chosen FREOR as its refrigeration partner. The hypermarket is equipped with the modern FREOR freezers, refrigerated cabinets, and serve-overs that are up to today’s standards. For the 5777 square meters of the sales area (total area is 8390 square meters), FREOR has delivered more than 230 meters of refrigerated cabinets and freezers from the Green Wave CO2 line.
