Fukushima Galilei Co., Ltd. (HQ: Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka; President: Go Fukushima) has announced a model change for its 1,000L medical refrigerator, now adopting the non-fluorocarbon refrigerant R1234yf.

Changes

### Environmental Consideration As part of the 'Green Refrigerant Transition' under the Galilei Group's sustainable vision 'Dramatic Future 2050,' the refrigerator utilizes R1234yf (GWP: 1). Compared to the previous R134a (GWP: 1430), the new refrigerant has a significantly lower Global Warming Potential (GWP: 1), making it environmentally friendly. It is not subject to the Freon Emission Control Act, eliminating requirements for inspections and record-keeping. *GWP values are cited from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry and Ministry of the Environment notifications.

### Welding Points Reduced welding points lower the risk of refrigerant gas leakage, further enhancing product quality.

Established Features

### 10-Year Refrigerant Leak Warranty This product is covered by a '10-Year Refrigerant Leak Warranty,' covering repairs for cooling failures caused by refrigerant leaks, ensuring long-term peace of mind.

Target Audience Pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical facilities, pharmacies, university laboratories, and research institutes.

Launch Date June 1, 2026 (Monday).

Sales Target 800 units per year.
