Modine Manufacturing Company, a diversified global leader in thermal management technology and solutions, has become a partner of R744.com to showcase its leading edge CO2 Mobile Air Conditioning system on the website soon.
Back in 1997, Modine made a strategic decision to invest in R744 developments. Since then, this investment has translated into proven technology for better performing and more environmentally friendly vehicles. Last September, Modine announced that it expects a "worldwide technological leap" with the natural refrigerant CO2. Now, the company decided to join R744.com as a comprehensive source for information about R744 development, CO2 technology, mobile air conditioning, commercial refrigeration and heat pumps.

For its work on R744 air conditioning system development, the company was awarded the 2006 U.S. Army Environmental Excellence Award. Modine is thus ready to support the industry introduction of the natural refrigerant in 2011 with improved system performance, package size and environmental compliance.
