CO2 as secondary refrigerant in Sweden.

Author(s) : SAWALHA S., PALM B., ROLFSMAN L.

Summary

In the last ten years, CO2 was introduced as a semi ideal refrigerant. Since the rediscovery of CO2 as a refrigerant (Lorentzen, 1990), the studies focussed on finding the possible applications of CO2 according to its properties. CO2 as a phase changing secondary refrigerant was studied and applied successfully in Sweden in the applications of supermarkets and cold stores. By the year 2000, 40 plants are running with capacities ranging from 10 to 280 kW; the refrigerants used in the machine room are ammonia, R404, and Care50. The study presents the basics of technologies applied in these specific applications and the main results obtained.
