Leading Through Change: Innovation, Compliance, and Operational Resilience
NWR’s mission has always centered on delivering cutting-edge, ultra-low temperature refrigeration systems that exceed the expectations of the plasma industry. In response to the EPA’s regulations phasing down high-GWP refrigerants, we are proud to announce that NWR is doubling its Research and Development capacities to stay ahead of these changes and continue offering unmatched refrigeration solutions.
This expansion is more than a reaction to regulation—it’s a proactive investment in innovation. Our enhanced R&D efforts will focus on:
Next-Gen Refrigeration Technologies: Utilizing environmentally responsible, low-GWP refrigerants—including A2L refrigerants and CO₂-based systems. With some states requiring refrigerants with a GWP of zero, we’re developing CO₂ solutions that meet these standards while maintaining the high performance required in plasma-producing environments.
Sustainability in Practice: Designing systems that prioritize both energy efficiency and long-term maintainability, reducing total cost of ownership over the system lifecycle.
Performance-Driven Design: Balancing regulatory compliance with the temperature stability and reliability required to freeze and maintain large volumes of plasma effectively.
Support for Long-Term Asset Value: As qualified refrigeration technicians—especially those with ULT experience—become increasingly scarce, our systems are being developed with advanced diagnostics, remote monitoring, and easier serviceability in mind.
We understand that sustainability isn’t just about refrigerants—it’s about the people, processes, and tools that keep systems running reliably. By incorporating advanced remote monitoring and diagnostics, we’re making it easier to prevent issues before they occur and maintain performance with minimal disruption, even in resource-constrained environments.
We’re focused on building refrigeration solutions that go beyond compliance to support long-term operational strength and stability.
As always, we remain committed to being a reliable partner in your mission-critical operations.
Thank you for your continued trust in NWR, Inc.
Warm regards,
