The proper design, installation, and maintenance of these valves is vital for the safe operation of R-744 refrigeration systems, especially in industrial and commercial applications.
Recent technological advancements are helping to drive CO2 TCB system adoption by configuring design optimization strategies that maximize efficiencies in various climate and/or installation conditions.
As CO2 adoption is increasing rapidly, our efforts are focused on delivering continuous performance improvements that support the expanded use of CO2 in TCB systems and other emerging applications.
Suddenly in high demand, HVAC contractors must quickly acclimate themselves with CO₂ refrigeration and its unique characteristics and service attributes, which differ from traditional hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)-based systems.
As more and more case-controlled facilities turn to CO₂ refrigeration, HVAC contractors are tasked with adequately educating themselves on these systems so that they can meet the country’s budding installation and service needs.
A pending global hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) phasedown and additional efficiency regulations have bolstered R-744’s position in the American food retail market, further accelerating interest in the refrigerant’s unique benefits.
CO2 is a highly attractive refrigerant for contractors and end users because it boasts a global warming potential (GWP) of 1 and an ozone depletion potential (ODP) of zero.
The commercial and industrial refrigeration sector is going green. This evolution is largely dictated by corporate environmental, social, and governance efforts; the demand for greater energy efficiency; government regulations; net-zero energy goals; and more.
When it comes to helping retailers meet supermarket sustainability targets, Copeland has developed a variety of tools and capabilities along their paths to Net Zero.
