Otway Fresh Cold Store & Distribution

new refrigeration technology that saves energy…

Otway Fresh is the first commercial cold store in Australia to utilise ‘cascade’ carbon dioxide/ammonia system. Carbon dioxide in conjunction with ammonia offers advantages over ammonia-only installation, the traditional refrigerant. Carbon dioxide was chosen because it is a non-toxic, non-flammable gas that offers good thermal properties and has minimal global warming potential. It is also a better option in terms of occupational health and safety.

Using carbon dioxide in a cascade system with ammonia allows turn-around times to be halved, which aligns with Otway Fresh’s mission to operate cold storage that delivers added value to it’s customers through quality standards, information management and a flexible can-do attitude.
