CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Harris Teeter, Matthews, N.C., opened a new store here yesterday that includes the first installation in North America of a medium-temperature secondary refrigeration system that reduces the refrigerant charge by 97% over a standard direct-expansion system, according to Hill Phoenix, Conyers, Ga. The system, Hill Phoenix’s Second Nature Compact Chiller, also reduces the potential for refrigerant leaks to less than 1%, Hill Phoenix said. “Reducing the overall refrigerant load in the store is a key to our sustainable future,” said Michal Shepard, director of energy for Harris Teeter. “We believe that through secondary systems, this can be done without increasing our energy footprint.”
