CO2 - Industrial Refrigeration

CO2 in Industrial Refrigeration Applications

CO2 belongs to the so-called “Natural” refrigerants, together with e.g. ammonia, hydrocarbons such as propane and butane, and water.

CO2 - Unique Properties

All of the refrigerants mentioned above, however, have their respective disadvantages:
  • Ammonia is toxic
  • Hydrocarbons are flammable
  • Water has limited application possibilities
In comparison to this CO2 is both non-toxic and non-flammable.

As should be evident from above, CO2 differs from other common refrigerants in many aspects. Furthermore, CO2 also has some unique properties.

Technical developments since 1920 have removed many of the barriers to using CO2, which once existed. However, CO2 users must still be highly aware of its unique properties and take the necessary precautions to avoid problems in their refrigeration systems.

Please take the time to read our material on CO2 with a particular focus on its use in Industrial Refrigeration applications.
