Transicold NaturaLINE® container refrigeration unit – Carrier Commercial Refrigeration
📣 The NaturaLINE® unit has been validated by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) as having a 95% recyclability rate. Carrier Transicold’s NaturaLINE Refrigeration Units Provide Sustainable Cooling
Carrier has been a pioneer in sustainability from the very beginning. We were among the first companies to launch factory energy reduction goals and we led a worldwide chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) phase-out years before the deadline set by international laws and regulations for developing countries. We have always designed with the environment in mind, innovating new products and technologies that avoid waste and preserve resources for future generations.
Now, building on our legacy of sustainability, we’ve created the future of container refrigeration. Naturally.
The first natural-refrigerant based solution ever developed for marine container shipping, the NaturaLINE® unit delivers an environmentally sustainable alternative for refrigerated marine transport. Just as our PrimeLINE® unit raised the bar for energy efficiency, the NaturaLINE unit sets a new standard for sustainability. By using carbon dioxide (CO2) as a natural refrigerant, the NaturaLINE design reduces the impact on environment caused by refrigerant leakage or end of life recovery compared to units using synthetic refrigerant.
When developing the NaturaLINE® unit, Carrier Transicold kept the need to make it easy for shipping lines to transition from refrigerated containers using synthetic refrigerants to those using carbon dioxide (CO2) in the forefront.
The NaturaLINE unit is as easy to operate and service as all other Carrier Transicold container refrigeration units,
which are considered to be industry standard. While the NaturaLINE system incorporates new technologies to optimize refrigerant performance, the basic frame, evaporator fans and the controller are based on proven Carrier Transicold models.
Operators familiar with other Carrier Transicold units will find no difference in setting up and managing refrigeration
parameters for the NaturaLINE unit. It features the easyto-use Micro-Link® 3 controller, the same system used on other Carrier Transicold container models from today’s ThinLINE® units through standard PrimeLINE® units.
The Cleveron 501 is an innovative automated grocery kiosk, built on a refrigerated container platform, that maintains contents at fresh and frozen setpoints using a Carrier Transicold NaturaLINE® refrigeration unit, visible (on right) during installation. The NaturaLINE system is the only container refrigeration unit to use a natural refrigerant with an ultra-low global warming potential and is recognized for its efficient operation, giving it tremendous appeal to retailers looking to minimize their carbon footprint.
Designed for sustainability as well as energy efficiency, the NaturaLINE unit offers exceptionally tight temperature control, owing to a variable-speed drive (VSD) that electronically adjusts compressor speed to provide the precise amount of cooling capacity as needed. It is also noted for being significantly quieter than other units in Carrier Transicold’s portfolio when operating in typical low-speed mode.
Long Beach Off-Coast Depot NaturaLINE units are currently being assembled at Carrier Transicold’s world-class container refrigeration facility in Singapore and will be placed onto 40-foot high-cube boxes.

NaturaLINE Container Refrigeration System Now Achieves Minus 40 Degrees Celsius
Carrier Transicold has deepened the frozen range of its NaturaLINE container refrigeration unit to achieve and maintain a temperature of minus 40 degrees Celsius.
 By refining the control logic to take full advantage of the NaturaLINE unit’s design features and the strong thermal attributes of its natural carbon dioxide (CO2) refrigerant, Carrier Transicold’s engineers established its new deep-frozen benchmark. The NaturaLINE unit was featured as part of Carrier Transicold’s exhibit at Intermodal Europe 2017 this week at the RAI Amsterdam event complex. “The minus 40 C capability can help shipping lines – especially those seeking environmentally responsible solutions – to provide enhanced offerings for customers who prefer colder frozen temperatures for maintaining quality attributes of some premium cargos, like ice cream, shrimp, sushi and other seafood over lengthy voyages,
Fleets that want to provide deep-frozen capacities using a system reliant on a refrigerant with a global warming potential (GWP) thousands of times lower than other alternatives will find an ideal solution with the efficient NaturaLINE system, Beyond the NaturaLINE unit’s use of a sustainable, natural refrigerant and its new deep-frozen attributes, it is a solid performer in other ways, It provides energy-efficient performance and especially excels in perishable, part-load conditions. it offers tight temperature control, owing to a variable-speed drive that electronically adjusts compressor speed to provide the precise cooling capacity as needed,
And, it is significantly quieter when operating in typical low-speed mode an attribute many of our customers have praised.” The deep-frozen capability is immediately available with all newly purchased NaturaLINE units. Existing units in the field can take advantage of the enhanced performance range through a control software update.
Robotic kiosks that provide automated and contactless dispensing of groceries for consumers are being sustainably refrigerated by Carrier Transicold NaturaLINE® units, the world’s first and only container refrigeration systems to use the natural refrigerant carbon dioxide (R-744). Carrier Transicold is a part of Carrier Global Corporation (NYSE: CARR), the leading global provider of healthy, safe and sustainable building and cold chain solutions.
Typically used on marine shipping containers to protect perishables and frozen food shipped between continents, NaturaLINE units are also proven performers on land. The units store perishables and now transfer groceries directly from retailer to consumer through an advanced kiosk made by Estonian robotics innovator Cleveron.
For more than a decade, Cleveron has developed “click and collect” automated solutions for a variety of applications, and the grocery kiosk is among its newest. At a time when consumers’ health and safety is the highest priority, the Cleveron 501 kiosk offers a convenient and touchless 24/7 alternative to in-store shopping or pickup, as well as home delivery.
The 20-foot and 40-foot long refrigerated shipping containers equipped with NaturaLINE units were a natural choice for the Cleveron 501 application, according to Mihkel Ilp, Chief Operating Officer, Cleveron.
We realized that combining refrigerated shipping containers and our robotics would enable us to create a product that is easy to transport and quick to install, and that also delivers solid cooling and withstands the forces of nature, Carrier was selected as our preferred partner because of its long history in the field of refrigeration and shipping containers, and because Carrier offers the NaturaLINE system with R-744 refrigerant.
NaturaLINE unit’s natural refrigerant has an ultra-low Global Warming Potential (GWP) value of 1, the lowest among all other container system refrigerants currently in use, which have GWPs ranging from hundreds to thousands of times greater. Ilp added NaturaLINE’s sustainability appeals to its customers, many of which are large multi-national grocery retailers with significant green initiatives, working toward carbon neutrality.
NaturaLINE units are recognized for tight temperature control, a factor that is important given the variety of locations where Cleveron 501 kiosks are located. They can be installed in parking lots near grocery/retail operations, near office buildings, in busy city centers and other locations where retail space is scarce or expensive.
The system is easy to use. Customers place orders online and are given a time for pickup. The retailer then picks, bags and places frozen and perishable items in totes that the Cleveron 501 kiosk automatically stores in the appropriate temperature-controlled compartment. When the customer arrives, a code is scanned from their phone, and the kiosk quickly dispenses their order.
To date, Cleveron 501 kiosks using Carrier Transicold’s NaturaLINE units have been deployed throughout Europe in grocery/retail environments, sharing a footprint with sustainable in-store R-744-based systems by Carrier Commercial Refrigeration Europe. Cleveron 501 systems have also been deployed in the Middle East, Australia, New Zealand and the United States.
