Danfoss has launched a new online information portal to clarify all the myths that exist around CO2 as refrigerant. It explains why they consider CO2 among the most attractive refrigerants in industrial refrigeration and food retail applications and what kind of efficiency, safety and environmental advantages can be achieved when using CO2 systems.
There are a list of myths and assumptions as regards the use of CO2 as refrigerant that are only partly true or simply outdated. As a leading provider of solutions also for CO2 systems, Danish-based Danfoss has collected all these possibly misleading assumptions about CO2 to explain them in a comprehensible way. Myths such as the safety, efficiency or costs of CO2 systems are discussed or overruled by case studies that proof the opposite.
The complete list of discussed topics includes: Safety, efficiency, cost, global warming, cold climates, high pressure, availability, level of difficulty, level of knowledge and importance.

Latest case studies using natural refrigerants successfully
The list of case studies, Danfoss proposes to showcase how efficient, reliable and safe CO2 systems are already used in different climates includes the following:
The website also features a tool, with which one can easily calculate potential energy savings when replacing traditional refrigerants with CO2 either in brine, cascade or transcritical systems. The application makes the comparison based on a geographical location and contains models of 11 commonly used refrigeration cycles and more than 4,000 commercially available compressors.
Find optimal CO2 technology and application examples
In addition, Danfoss informs everybody on its campaign website about how to choose the right CO2 technology for different conditions. This includes the specific features of either transcritical, cascade or brine applications. Related application examples give a detail overview of each system and what technicians, service personnel or users have to consider when using either of these systems.
