GE Monogram First HFC-free Household Refrigerator

9/12/2010

Hoping to help curb greenhouse gas emissions, GE is engineering its Monogram 30” refrigerator to use isobutene as the primary refrigerant.


 

If approved by the EPA, the Monagram would be the first domestic refrigerator to switch from HCFC-based refrigerants and have a lower global-warming impact. The Monogram also is fitted with LED lighting throughout which reduced heat in the fridge and energy use. The refrigerator also has two separate sealed refrigeration systems to help control humidity, reduce food spoilage, and minimize odors.
