Summary
The advantages of CO2 as a volatile secondary refrigerant in low temperature applications are presented. Measures are discussed which could limit the maximum pressure in a secondary system with the refrigerant CO2 if the refrigeration system is not in operation. Among them are the use of a safety valve and of an expansion container, as well as pressure reduction by using a solvent for the CO2. Results of experimental investigations of CO2 are given, proving that it can be used as a secondary refrigerant with conventional components.
