CO2 Myths and Facts

Do You Know the Myths & Facts About CO2 Refrigeration?

12 March 2012
Danfoss has created a site that takes you through the Myths & Facts in regards to CO2 refrigeration. Apart from talking about CO2 Myths & Facts it also has some calculation tools to help you calculate your potential energy savings from using CO2.

For some, CO2 refrigeration is surrounded by myths that are not correct and the Danfoss CO2 Myths & Facts site aims to clarify this.
CO2 Myths & Facts
One of myths is that CO2 is not safe but the fact is that CO2 is classified in the safest refrigerant category "A1" meaning that it is neither toxic nor flammable. As with all other refrigerants, regional and national standards must be followed when designing a system. These requirements take all safety aspects into account including pressures that may be seen in high pressure refrigerants such as R410A or CO2. Hence, CO2 is just as safe to use as other common refrigerants.

Some of the other topics on the CO2 Myths & Facts site are Efficiency, Cost, Global Warming, Cold Climates and High Pressure.

Savings calculator
The CO2 Myths and Facts site has links to different calculation tools that make it possible for you to calculate your potential energy savings when replacing traditional refrigerants with CO2 in brine systems, cascade systems and transcritical systems respectively.

… and much more
The above is only a brief introduction to the CO2 Myths & Facts site. On the site you can also find information regarding the different technologies, application examples, products and cases. Click at the below link and check it out today so you do not get left behind.
