The Advansor CO2 Transcritical System

Industrial Refrigeration systems have

traditionally relied upon two refrigeration

technologies for decades. Ammonia

has been the de facto standard for very

large systems. Synthetic halocarbon

refrigerants — in use since the 1920s

— account for the rest. Regulations put in

place to control the usage of both —

ammonia for its safety issues and the

synthetics for their ozone depletion and

global warming concerns — have made

the two coolant technologies extremely

problematic.
