CO2 is often regarded as the "big problem" when it comes to climate change. While in some regards it is a hazard, in other situations it can be the answer. In fact, when used as a refrigerant, CO2 can make a big difference when it comes to keeping people, products, and our planet cool.
As a refrigerant, CO2 has the lowest possible Global Warming Potential (GWP) with a rating of "1" causes zero ozone depletion, it is non-toxic, and non-flammable. This means that people and products can be cooled safely without negatively affecting our planet's climate. It is also exceptionally versatile and can be used in many different cooling applications, including commercial, industrial, and transport applications.
With the new Multi Ejector Solution™, CO2 becomes a major asset for those in the cooling industry—and the rest of the world
When paired with the technology in the Danfoss Multi Ejector Solution™, CO2 can enable refrigeration systems to outperform traditional HFC systems in terms of energy efficiency in all climate zones, while reducing the impact on our environment—it's the ultimate win-win.
The use of CO2 as a refrigerant was previously limited to cooler regions, or required complex, expensive systems. With the Danfoss Multi Ejector Solution™ it's now becoming a truly global solution. Now even the hottest regions like the Middle East, Southern and Latin America, Australia, and Asia can enjoy all the benefits that CO2 has to offer. This includes valuable energy saving potential—up to 18% annually compared with CO2 booster system.
"CO2 has a bright future as a refrigerant in our industry. It is natural and environmentally benign, with virtually no direct climate impact when used as a refrigerant. The Danfoss Multi Ejector SolutionTM makes it easy to gain all the benefits of using CO2. It makes it possible to save energy in all climates, reduce refrigeration platform complexity and not least, reduce the carbon footprint of the system. That's why We Love CO2." says Hans Ole Matthiesen, Director of Segment Marketing, Food Retail.
To help spread the word, we're offering some exciting opportunities to our customers, business partners, and the public. Our Mobile CO2 Training Unit is on a world tour, providing in-depth training and certification to industry professionals. We also have online classes about CO2 theory, use, and safety available for free on Danfoss Learning, our digital education portal.
We're excited to be able to make all of our CO2 solutions, including the Multi Ejector Solution™, available worldwide. As you explore how these opportunities can help your business, and the planet, we know that you too will fall in love with CO2.
The Multi Ejector Solution™ is what makes the use of CO2 as refrigerant in transcritical CO2 refrigeration systems possible. It consists of two products: a Multi Ejector and the AK-PC 782A Pack Controller. By uniting the two great products into one best-in-class solution, professionals all over the world now have the chance to harvest the numerous benefits of using CO2 as a refrigerant.
The Danfoss Multi Ejector Solution™ ensures that transcritical CO₂ applications for retailers become energy efficient in any climate.
