INDUSTRIAL REFRIGERATION I BAKERY
IceCool International BV, first manufacturer to deploy Solstice® L40X on a large scale at Feihl Bäcker
More than 480 kg of R-455A fluid supplies 16 condensing units to meet the refrigeration needs
of the new Feihl bakery based in Neumarkt, Germany: technological and environmental excellence!
Founded in 1895 by master baker Feihl in Pölling, the family business "Der Bäcker Feihl" employs 250 people between production, logistics and marketing of its products in 33 shops in the Neumarkt and Nuremberg region.
The love of craftsmanship and the in-depth knowledge of their fellow workers and master bakers make it possible to
offer customers high quality gourmet products. 90% of these products are manufactured in their own shops. More than 20 varieties of bread are available as well as a selection of pastries such as the famous sweet pastry from the Danube.
In Autumn 2017, a new bakery was built so that the "extended family" of Bäcker Feihl could find a new home.

bakery equipment for the cooling and freezing of unpackaged dough. IceCool has built its reputation with the world's best bakers by constantly innovating to improve the quality of its products. Moisture man- agement in IceCool installations ensures success and baking quality; "Bread is therefore more digestible for consumers, especially those with gluten intolerance," says Peter Wehrens, Export Manager R&D at IceCool.
From 2012, the manufacturer IceCool changed course in response to F-Gas and integrated the following three criteria to select the most ecological refrigerant:
- Global Warming Potential (GWP)
- Total Equivalent Warming Impact (TEWI)
- Life Cycle Climate Performance (LCCP).
The first R-1234ze / CO2 cascade refrigeration system was created in 2013 for the Maurer bakery and was funded by the German government agency (BAFA*) because of its low environmental impact.
ceCool International BV was founded in 2008 in Hückelhoven, Germany, and then established in Echt, the Netherlands, a few years later. Today,
IceCool International BV is the world leader in
In 2015, the development of Honeywell's Solstice® L40X fluid was of particular interest to Peter Wehrens for future freezing installations
Feihl opts for R-455A
When Feihl Bakery decided, in 2016, to build a new facility in Neumarkt to expand their production site, it turned to IceCool to develop and install an eco-ef- ficient refrigeration system. Several alternatives were presented to the customer.
Feihl very quickly decided to use a Solstice® L40X system, whose installation and operating costs are lower than CO2 solutions. The excellent thermody- namic characteristics of this new, very low GWP refrigerant, and the proposed technology, were in perfect harmony with their specifications.
Due to the A2L (low flammability) classification of R-455A, IceCool was in contact with local authorities and worked closely with the certification body TÜV and Energie Consult Holland to carry out the project and meet the requirements of the regulations in force.
