Energy Recovery Showcases Exceptional Performance of PX G1300 in Commercial CO2 Refrigeration Installations
CO2 refrigeration is a leading replacement for harmful hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) systems because it is non-toxic, non-flammable, and has a low global warming potential thousands of times better than HFCs. While CO2 systems consume less energy than typical HFC systems1, their efficiency declines in hot weather, leading to higher electricity costs in the summer. Many current solutions leverage water to keep up system efficiency in the heat, which creates challenges of water cost, availability, and maintenance. Additionally, refrigeration systems operate within a fixed capacity (design temperature), causing strain during heat waves and potentially leading to system failure.
Results from this release show that the PX G1300 can aid in solving all three problems by increasing energy efficiency and cooling capacity without water. Findings showed the PX G1300 improved the leading metric of energy efficiency (coefficient of performance) by peaks of up to 30% with as much as 15% in projected annual energy savings2. In addition to energy efficiency, findings estimate the PX G1300 increases cooling capacity for CO2 refrigeration systems by up to 15% at 95°F (35°C)2, providing operational flexibility to safeguard against heatwaves.
“Our goal at
The PX G1300 is an innovative application of our leading PX® Pressure Exchanger® for desalination that offers a simple and cost-effective energy saving solution for CO2 refrigeration, easing the transition to sustainable refrigeration.
