Subcritical CO2 solutions - eCO2Gen range - System with cascade in medium temperature circuit Heatcraft Europe : Friga-Bohn - HK Refrigeration -

Today, most supermarkets use fluorinated greenhouse gas as a refrigerant. The increase in the greenhouse gas effect due to refrigerant leakages in the installation as well as the cost of using HFC gas has pushed our profession to look for alternative solutions. The use of natural fluids, in particular CO2, contributes towards attaining this objective.

In this spirit, we now propose a new range of “eCO2Gen” refrigeration units operating in cascade either with a direct expansion chill unit or an ice-water production unit used to further confine the HFC in the machine room.

These refrigeration units are available with 3 or 4 compressors, with power ranges from 18 to 80 kW and are specifically intended for large or medium scale supermarkets. The “eCO2Gen” range is designed with a common chassis enabling grouping and interconnection of the various CO2 compression and condensation sub-assemblies as well as the liquid accumulators.

These various sub-assemblies comprise all elements associated with this type of technology and required for correct operation of an installation, including:
• A liquid-gas suction heat-exchanger unit combined with a suction line accumulator.
• Thermal insulation of all pipes and components with the exception of the delivery pipe
• An autonomous safety unit used to maintain the CO2 pressure in case of a power cut or stoppage of the chill unit.

"Package" offer, "remodeling" offer
Our service package also includes the supply of all components required for a supermarket installation such as:
• A chill unit (type MOPSH direct expansion or with a glycol water heat-exchanger) selected according to the refrigeration unit
• An Eurovent certified air condenser unit
• A unit cooler assembly and, in particular, our low temperature range specifically dimensioned for CO2 applications.
• An electrical switching enclosure comprising all power circuit and control elements indicated above and in particular the compression unit control system taking into account the specificity of a cascade CO2 installation.

We provide a downloadable equipment selection software package & “support packs” to simplify your CO2 installations (Equipment commissioning training - On-site technical audit and consulting service)
