To most enthusiasts, Arctic is best known for their Freezer line of CPU coolers as well as their thermal compound called MX-2 and MX-4. [2] The Freezer line of coolers is available in different fan speed, cooling capacity and motherboard compatibility [3] to cater the needs of different type of users from HTPC users to enthusiasts and overclockers.
Arctic GmbH, formerly known as Arctic Cooling, [1] is a German, Swiss-founded manufacturer of computer cooling components, mainly CPU and graphics card coolers, [2] case fans and thermal compound. Since 2010, Arctic expanded its business by starting a range of products to cater other consumer demands beyond that of computer cooling hardware.
The area of refrigeration and deep freezers for supermarkets basically involves plug-in refrigeration and freezer systems [8] and constitutes approximately 60% of the total turnover, which was more than €200 million in 2007. [citation needed] The company is based in the region of Styria in the middle of Austria and has about 800 employees.
Despite their flammability, they are increasingly used in domestic refrigerators and heat pumps. In 2010, about one-third of all household refrigerators and freezers manufactured globally used isobutane or an isobutane/propane blend, and this was expected to increase to 75% by 2020.

Common absorption refrigerators use a refrigerant with a very low boiling point (less than −18 °C (0 °F)) just like compressor refrigerators.Compression refrigerators typically use an HCFC or HFC, while absorption refrigerators typically use ammonia or water and need at least a second fluid able to absorb the coolant, the absorbent, respectively water (for ammonia) or brine (for water).
Freezer units are used in households and in industry and commerce. Food stored at or below −18 °C (0 °F) is safe indefinitely. [28] Most household freezers maintain temperatures from −23 to −18 °C (−9 to 0 °F), although some freezer-only units can achieve −34 °C (−29 °F) and lower.
The ice trade, also known as the frozen water trade, was a 19th-century and early 20th-century industry, centering on the east coast of the United States and Norway, involving the large-scale harvesting, transport and sale of natural ice, and later the making and sale of artificial ice, for domestic consumption and commercial purposes.
It is the first genetically engineered apple to be approved for commercial sale. [7] The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2015, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency , Government of Canada in 2017, determined that Arctic apples are as safe and nutritious as conventional apples.
