Industrial refrigeration system supports innovation center in Ohio
An industrial refrigeration system using a natural refrigerant has been installed at the Helix Innovation Center in Dayton, Ohio. The system, a part of global technology and energy company Emerson’s innovation initiatives, is set up as a learning lab for those in the industry.
“Our industrial refrigeration system at the Helix is unique in that it both supports the overall innovation work of the facility and is itself a sandbox like the other modules for testing, learning and innovation,” said Rajan Rajendran, vice president of the system innovation center and sustainability at Emerson’s commercial and residential solutions division. “Emerson is leveraging the results of testing to develop larger (carbon dioxide) cascade systems to serve customers in the cold storage and food manufacturing, and other industries that require low temperatures and prefer natural refrigerants for their processes.”
