Commercial refrigeration


The Republic of Moldova is gradually switching to natural cooling agents, with the goal of eliminating fluorinated gases by 2050

The Republic of Moldova will gradually reduce, starting 1 January 2024, the import and use of fluorinated greenhouse gases and will replace them with natural cooling agents, according to the provisions of the new law on fluorinated greenhouse gases, voted in the final reading by the Parliament. The law was developed with the support of the EU4Climate project, financed by the European Union and implemented by UNDP Moldova and is to enter into force six months after its publication. Until now, the import and use of F-gases was not regulated in Moldova.

Williams' new Under Broiler Counter

Williams Refrigeration has launched a new model in its range of Under Broiler Counters, model UBC16 to provide chefs with refrigerated storage right in the cookline. The low-height counter unit can hold weights of 279kg, allowing prime cooking equipment like chargrills and griddles to be installed on top of them. This helps to maximise the use of space in smaller environments without compromising on the safety of ingredients. Its dimensions are 1600mm wide x 782mm deep x 546mm high, with a generous capacity of 266 litres.
