World First Refrigerant System Sees Notable CO2 Drop

An in-trial cooling system intended for supermarkets and hospitals has hit a positive benchmark, with its operationality cutting CO2 emissions by 19% in comparison to comparable systems. 

Developed in collaboration between the University of South Australia and Glaciem Cooling Technologies, the new indirect evaporative (dew point) carbon dioxide (DP-CO2) refrigeration system is being trialled at a major supermarket chain's store in inner-city Adelaide. The technology's electrical demand is 37% lower than previous systems. It heralds a notable milestone for refrigerants, with the system dexterous enough to be utilised in a variety of facilities of different demand, sizes, applications, and operations.
