Cold milk. Low emissions. Built for the future.
a2L Refrigeration
Same cold milk.
A fraction of the impact.
Your vat refrigeration works hard all season. But if your shed still runs on an older refrigerant like R-404A, you're relying on a gas that's being phased down in New Zealand. It's getting harder to source and more expensive to top up.
A2L refrigeration is the next generation of milk cooling. It chills milk fast and holds it there, with a fraction of the climate impact.
Cryvex installs and services A2L systems for dairy farms across New Zealand, so switching is simple.
Cold milk. Low emissions.
Built for the future.
Cryvex A2L refrigeration uses R-455A, a low-GWP refrigerant. It cuts your system's climate impact, keeps running costs down and keeps you ahead of New Zealand's refrigerant phase-down.
Future-proof your shed.
If you choose A2L now, you won't be caught out when your old system needs a costly regas or can't be recharged at all. You'll have a modern system built for the refrigerants New Zealand is moving to, not away from.
Better for the planet, better for your story.
R-455A has a global warming potential (GWP) of just 145.
R-404A sits at around 3,922, so that's roughly 96% lower.
Low-GWP refrigeration is a practical, visible step you can point to in your sustainability plan.
Why choose A2L
-
Modern A2L systems move more heat for every unit of power, so your milk gets cold for less.
-
Lower power use and a smaller refrigerant charge mean lower bills and cheaper top-ups over the life of the system.
-
Our technicians service your system, with parts and support close to home.
-
You own the system outright. What we quote is what you pay.
-
R-455A has a GWP of just 145, a fraction of the high-GWP refrigerants it replaces.
-
12 months as standard, extended to 18 months after your first service.

Frequently asked questions
-
A2L is a safety classification for refrigerants. The "A" means lower toxicity and the "2L" means lower flammability. A2L refrigerants are much harder to ignite than traditional flammable refrigerants. Trained, certified technicians design, install and service our systems to the relevant standards.
-
Yes. A2L systems are designed specifically for these refrigerants and installed to the relevant New Zealand standards. As with any refrigeration system, only certified technicians should install and service it, and that's exactly what we do.
-
High-GWP refrigerants like R-404A are being phased down, so they're getting harder to source and more expensive to top up. If your system is ageing, leaking or due for replacement, moving to A2L now avoids paying more later. You'll also get a system built for the long haul.
-
In many cases, yes. We'll assess your current vat, precooling and shed setup and recommend the best fit.
-
Every shed is different, so we price each job to suit your herd size, milk volume and existing gear. Get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote. Third party finance options are available.
