CO2: The future of Refrigeration
by Jeremy Williams on Apr.23, 2015, under News
Carbon Dioxide has been used in open and closed loop refrigeration processes for over 100 years. Today in commercial and industrial arenas it is grabbing some of the market share. With the phase out of “Freons”, natural refrigerant designs are grabbing attention.
Many leaders in the industrial field are implementing cascade “brine” and cascade compression systems. The commercial world is working with cascade systems as well, but also looking at co2 trans-critical.
GCAP’s CO2 Technician course covers all design methods, and you get to run, charge, troubleshoot, adjust, and manipulate a cascade overfeed system.
