RLS (Rapid Locking System) has developed a pipe for the high pressures of CO2 that does not need to be welded and is quick to install.
Demand for copper piping capable of withstanding the high pressures of CO2 is increasing in Europe and the United States, Ronnie Nilsson of Mueller Industries told R744.com at Chillventa 2016.
