Carrier has celebrated a new milestone in the deployment of sustainable technologies with its 500th installation of their CO2OLtec® refrigeration system across Europe reducing CO2 equivalent emissions by 137,100 tons.
Carrier announces in a recent press release that applied to the new famila market in Friesoythe, Germany, the CO2OLtec system uses CO2 for refrigeration as well as for heating and cooling of the store. This solution enables energy efficiency, cutting energy costs by 35 percent while reducing greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50 percent.
The store’s director of corporate technology, Robert Meyer, explained that the company was looking for a sustainable and environmentally sound solution while bearing in mind the management of the building’s energy and operating costs.“We have opted for Carrier´s Integral system which enables new levels of energy efficiency combined with a significant improvement in the store's carbon emissions," Meyer stated.
Designed to ensure optimal energy efficiency, all the waste heat created during the refrigeration process is collected and redistributed for heating via the CO2OLheatTM module. The system leverages an incorporated heat pump to generate additional heat during the cold months and enables cooling of the supermarket when needed. The CO2 OLtec Integral solution meets all of the building's heating and cooling requirements, eliminating the need for traditional heating systems.
"I am happy to add famila to Carrier´s long list of customers who have chosen environmentally sound solutions. Carrier is proud to lead European retailers towards more sustainable technologies," said Matti Kuivalainen, President of Carrier Commercial Refrigeration Europe.
