CO2 Refrigeration on the Rise

published on February 15, 2017 in CO2

Since the 19th Century, ammonia has displaced CO2 as the premier industrial refrigerant around the world. That looks set to change after a new survey of over 1000 individuals involved in commercial and industrial refrigeration revealed some interesting results.

An article from Cooling Post points out that 82% of OEMs and 91% of consultants surveyed saw CO2 as ‘a viable mainstream refrigeration technology’ moving onwards into and past the 2010’s.

These are encouraging signs for a technology that was once replaced by ammonia in all but a few specific industrial applications.
