CO2 Industrial Refrigeration
Posted by Jack Zeiger | 9/20/2018
Using CO2 as a refrigerant in industrial refrigeration is safer, requires less compression, is potentially more efficient, especially at lower temps, and requires less maintenance than ammonia. They are particularly effective for lower temps, below 0F. Perhaps even more efficient are CO2/ammonia cascading systems. The cascading systems can be as much as 10-18% more efficient than ammonia-only systems.
