Emerson Climate Technologies Inc. will host a webinar, “Seven Keys to Servicing CO₂ Systems,” to explore the many operating implications of a CO₂ (R-744)-based refrigeration system. The complimentary webinar will be held Tuesday, July 14, from 2 to 3 p.m. EDT.

This case study documents one year of operating experience with a transcritical carbon dioxide (TC CO₂) booster refrigeration system at Delhaize America’s Hannaford supermarket location in Turner, Maine. This store, which began operation in June 2013, is the first supermarket installation in the U.S. of a TC CO₂ booster refrigeration system.

The first United States ice rink to use CO2 refrigeration is benefiting from lower operational costs and reduced environmental impact just two months after opening.

CO₂ is primarily used in cascade systems that include ammonia, in booster systems in supermarkets, and as a stand-alone refrigerant for transcritical-configured systems.
