CO₂  for  Supermarkets

VP of Product Development at Danfoss, Torben Funder-Kristensen updated participants of the 'Refrigerants Review' event that took place in Dubai in March 2012 about the experience gained with R744 in European applications, both in transcritical and subcritical mode. He presented performance comparison data where CO₂ transcritical as well as cascade solutions with ammonia and propane would always outperform an R404A-CO₂ cascade solution, depending on the climate. Referring to the high ambient temperatures in Arab countries Funder-Kristensen pointed to the significant development in the CO₂ refrigeration area that has taken place over the last 10 years but which would still leave “a lot of room for innovation”.
