Schiessl’s cascade CO2/R290 system for hop cooling has proven significant gains in decreasing power consumption compared to an R404a system. This is just one of the projects that will be presented during the Technology Case Study Session of the upcoming ATMOsphere Europe 2013.
This year, the ATMOsphere Review Panel selected over 15 of the most innovative natural refrigerant case studies to be presented at ATMOsphere Europe 2013. One of the selected case studies gives provides an in depth look at a CO2/Propane cascade system used for industrial cooling.
CO2 and Propane – two efficient partners for industrial cooling by Robert Baust, Schiessl
Since November 2012, the cascade CO2 and R290 unit Schiessl took into commission has been running fault free and has shown noticeable reduction in power consumption when compared to the predecessor unit, which used R404A. The unit’s duty is 140 kW for brine at -37°C, which is used for the industrial process of hop cooling. It is designed as a compressor rack with three Bitzer reciprocating compressors at each stage. To keep operational and investment costs low, heat exchangers were integrated for subcooling the R290 and desuperheating the R744. Electronic expansion valves and frequency inverters for the compressor and condenser were also employed. This basic design can be used as a model for any cooling duty by brine or direct expansion between -25°C and -48°C.

About ATMOsphere Europe 2013
15 & 16 October at the Crowne Plaza Le Palace Hotel in Brussels, Belgium
Once again, around 200 HVAC&R industry experts will come together at the 5th annual ATMOsphere Europe 2013: Natural Refrigerants – Solutions for Europe. One of the main features of this year’s conference is an exclusive and in depth look at the new F-Gas regulations with in put from representatives of the European Institutions, as well as national governments. In addition to sessions on policy developments and market trends, ATMOsphere Europe 2013 also features several parallel case study sessions focusing on the latest natural refrigerant technologies and projects in the areas of industrial, commercial and transport refrigeration, air- conditioning, heat pumps and more.
