SCM Frigo Launches Higher-Capacity Transcritical CO2 Racks for Commercial Applications
The Italian OEM’s Smart Booster 2.0 offers a new configuration with more compressors to provide a higher cooling capacity for both low and medium temperatures.
The Italian OEM’s Smart Booster 2.0 offers a new configuration with more compressors to provide a higher cooling capacity for both low and medium temperatures.
The Italian manufacturer is also launching its iBooster transcritical CO2 rack for industrial applications, which offers up to 1.5MW in refrigeration capacity.
The new compressor can be used as a standard medium-temperature compressor, as well as a parallel compressor in transcritical booster systems.
The State of the Industry report used a survey of OEMs to approximate the size of the CO2, hydrocarbons and ammonia markets in Europe.
The transcritical CO2 system provides the end user with better margarine quality, according to TEKO.
German OEM TEKO had to overcome snow and narrow streets to install two CO2 units on the roof of a 7-storey building in central Birmingham, U.K.
Transcritical CO2 start-ups are straightforward if pre-installation steps are taken, says Andreas Meier of the German OEM.
Minibooster and Tower units, imported from Europe, are designed for small stores and retrofits
Panasonic debuted a China-built CO2 transcritical rack at China Refrigeration last week, aimed at Japan’s industrial sector.
More transcritical CO2 systems are expected to be on display at China Refrigeration this year compared to last.
