Highlighted products

Compressor and condenser controllers

Danfoss offers a range of compressor and condenser capacity controls for use in food retail, in compact systems as well as in large power packs.
Evaporator and room control

Danfoss offers a range of evaporator controls with thermostatic expansion valves or with electric expansion valves.
System managers

The system manager is the key component of the intelligent Danfoss ADAP-KOOL® refrigeration system for food retail.
CTR electric expansion valves, transcritical CO₂

CTR 3-way heat reclaim valve is designed to allow full proportional control of the surplus heat from compressor pack into the heat exchanger of transcritical heat reclaim solutions, securing availability of heat and hot water. The CTR valve prevents pressure peaks eliminating costly system down-time and the risk of insufficient heat supply for store heating and hot water, regardless of installation size.
CCMT electric regulating valves, transcritical CO₂

The CCMT is an electric operated valve designed specifically for operation in CO₂ systems. The valve is capable of functioning either as an expansion valve, as a pressure regulator for the gas cooler or as a gas bypass valve with back-pressure regulation in trans-critical or subcritical applications.

Italy's largest hypermarket opts for CO₂ refrigeration

The use of transcritical CO₂ refrigeration in warm climates has been a hot topic for years. In Milan, the brand new 10,000 m² Iper market is a pioneer in CO₂ refrigeration using ejector technology to enhance efficiency in temperatures up to 38 °C.
A case study on ejector efficiency based on four test sites

The F-gas regulation in Europe and similar legislation in other parts of the world push for low-GWP solutions in food retail refrigeration. CO₂ is proving to be one of the most efficient low-GWP refrigerants thanks to the unique properties of the gas combined with technological discoveries that pave the way for optimum utilization of these properties.
CO₂ energy efficiency in supermarkets

Interest in carbon dioxide (CO₂) as a refrigerant in food retail applications has never been more intense than it is today and as such, there has been a lot of discussion with regards to the energy efficiency of these systems. The energy discussion is focused on two factors: climate change performance and financial justification.
