Uwajimaya Adopts Honeywell Technology To Modernize Flagship Seattle Store

Honeywell announced today Uwajimaya, one of the largest Asian grocers in the Pacific Northwest, has adopted its Solstice N40 (R-448A) lower-global-warming-potential (GWP) refrigerant for its flagship Seattle location to modernize the facility and grow its sustainable practices. Uwajimaya retrofitted its commercial refrigeration system at the Seattle store with Honeywell’s reduced-GWP alternative, replacing high-global-warming-potential refrigerant R-22. The retailer selected Solstice N40 over potential low-GWP alternative CO2 for its ease of conversion and reduced costs.
