Carbon Dioxide (CO2) services as a long-term replacement for many currently available GFC-type refrigerants. It is both naturally occurring and highly energy efficient when utilised as the working fluid in refrigeration systems.
One of the key attributes of CO2 is its non-toxic nature, making it safe for use around food products and people. Moreover, its rapid expansion across various refrigeration applications is driven by its exceptional energy efficiency and the resulting reduction in the size of pipe networks and compressor sets. Additionally, CO2 systems boast very low vibration and noise levels, enabling the creation of smaller, quieter plants rooms that can be situated near occupied spaces such as offices.
In terms of energy efficiency, CO2 stands out as the top performer, with our latest patented designers surpassing conventional HFC systems by up to 40%, directly reducing power consumption.
CO2 serves as a cost-effective replacement gas, priced at less than 10% HFC refrigerants, should any future gas purchase be necessary.
While a CO2 system is ideally suited for freeze and cool room systems with a cooling capacity of 50kW and larger, smaller systems are also feasible. Notably, recent installations in Europe, USA and Soth Africa have seen CO2 systems as large as 2.5MW.
The adoption of CO2 as a refrigerant is rapidly gaining momentum worldwide, with major equipment manufactures expanding their product ranges to include CO2 systems.
We recognize that refrigeration and air conditioning issues can arise at any time and your refrigeration plant runs 24/7, which is why we provide round the clock emergency breakdown service.
Warm glycol defrosting has been a longstanding method, proven highly effective in swiftly removing frost and ice from freezer room evaporators while minimising the introduction of heat into the freezer environment, therefore ensuring optimal operational conditions.
To prevent any unexpected breakdown or malfunctions, regular servicing of refrigeration plants/equipment and air conditioning is required.
