CO₂ refrigeration (R-744) was selected to cool four ice rinks at the Winter Olympics, curbing carbon emissions to the tune of 1.2 million planted trees.
The proper design, installation, and maintenance of these valves is vital for the safe operation of R-744 refrigeration systems, especially in industrial and commercial applications.
Recent technological advancements are helping to drive CO2 TCB system adoption by configuring design optimization strategies that maximize efficiencies in various climate and/or installation conditions.
Suddenly in high demand, HVAC contractors must quickly acclimate themselves with CO₂ refrigeration and its unique characteristics and service attributes, which differ from traditional hydrofluorocarbon (HFC)-based systems.
The escalating demand for sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally conscious cooling technologies presents a compelling business case for CO2 refrigeration. And U.S. businesses are taking notice.
In the ongoing battle against climate change, the U.S. supermarket sector is relentlessly pursuing innovative strategies to reduce its carbon footprint and enhance energy efficiency.
As more and more case-controlled facilities turn to CO₂ refrigeration, HVAC contractors are tasked with adequately educating themselves on these systems so that they can meet the country’s budding installation and service needs.
The commercial and industrial refrigeration sector is going green. This evolution is largely dictated by corporate environmental, social, and governance efforts; the demand for greater energy efficiency; government regulations; net-zero energy goals; and more.
When it comes to helping retailers meet supermarket sustainability targets, Copeland has developed a variety of tools and capabilities along their paths to Net Zero.
