CO2 system efficiency can approach that of NH3, says U.S. operator
Henningsen Cold Storage improves efficiency of transcritical system after commissioning.
Henningsen Cold Storage improves efficiency of transcritical system after commissioning.
A longtime ammonia user, Henningsen Cold Storage is testing transcritical CO2 refrigeration in two locations – among the first all-CO2 industrial plants in the United States.
The cold-storage operator’s second transcritical system will replace R404A equipment.
According to some end users and manufacturers CO2 will increasingly enter the industrial arena this year.
A new Henningsen facility in Washington will be the company’s first to be fitted with a transcritical CO2 system.
