After months of hard work from the teams at PRO Refrigeration and San Joaquin Valley Dairy Equipment, South Creek Dairy in Earlmart, California, is now producing milk with the climate in mind.
In spring 2020, Heatcraft Refrigeration Products helped Faber Street Foodworks LLC build a $20 million, 56,000-square-foot food production facility in Union City, California. But creating a custom solution for a very large sustainable food processing facility was no easy feat.
In the first installment of a technical series from Emerson, the company reviews some key tips that technicians need to be aware of when servicing CO2 transcritical booster systems.
The Danfoss CTM Multi-Ejector — winner in the 2017 AHR Expo Innovation Awards’ refrigeration category — is a multi-ejector designed for warm climate transcritical CO2 systems.
The global transcritical CO2 refrigeration market was valued at $4.9 billion in 2014, and is forecast to reach $30.7 billion by 2020, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.2 percent from 2015 to 2020, according to a report published by MarketsandMarkets.
The following is excerpted from “Case Study: Transcritical Carbon Dioxide Supermarket Refrigeration Systems,” which was prepared by Navigant Consulting Inc. for the Better Buildings Alliance; Building Technologies Office; and the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).
Natural refrigeration technology is gaining traction with end users, yet, despite technological successes, there are still challenges to overcome in the form of regulatory obstacles and skill shortages.
This case study documents one year of operating experience with a transcritical carbon dioxide (TC CO2) booster refrigeration system at Delhaize America’s Hannaford supermarket location in Turner, Maine. This store, which began operation in June 2013, is the first supermarket installation in the U.S. of a TC CO2 booster refrigeration system.
To continue to meet refrigeration needs, f-gas proponents are turning to low-global warming potential (GWP) HFCs and hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) while advocates of so-called natural solutions — hydrocarbons (HCs), CO2, and ammonia — continue to build their cases.
