Summary

Ammonia is the most popular natural refrigerant. However, its odour and safety are an issue for food industry application. Considering this, York Group has been using CO2 for food industries for more than 20 years. Thus, York Group has readily available CO2 compressors. This article discusses the major technical and financial advantages of the CO2/NH3 cascade system and its limitation based on two case studies. These studies suggest potential savings of life-cycle costs compared with the equivalent NH3 system.
