Design considerations when using carbon dioxide in industrial refrigeration systems.

Author(s) : GILLIES A.

Summary

R744 is a natural, efficient, safe and environmentally friendly alternative to more common refrigerants for industrial refrigeration systems but problems in the detail of the design have prevented common use. High pressures have limited the availability of suitable system components, particularly to allow hot gas defrosting. Cascade operation overcomes many of the problems but it can still be a significant challenge to find suitable components and an economic system to defrost a cascade refrigeration plant. This paper considers the practical aspects of design and component selection when applying carbon dioxide to large industrial cascade and volatile secondary refrigeration plant with hot gas defrosting.
