Efficient and sustainable container refrigeration application using CO2

Carrier has successfully developed and trialed a CO2 refrigerant container unit. The challenge for the transport refrigeration industry is to create a system that meets the energy consumption levels of today’s efficient HFC machines. In order for CO2 to work as a viable refrigerant today, where energy efficiency, cooling capacity, power consumption, and quick pull down are necessary starting points, components and systems that can better control capacity and temperatu

Carrier has successfully developed and trialed a CO2 refrigerant container unit. The challenge for the transport refrigeration industry is to create a system that meets the energy consumption levels of today’s efficient HFC machines. In order for CO2 to work as a viable refrigerant today, where energy efficiency, cooling capacity, power consumption, and quick pull down are necessary starting points, components and systems that can better control capacity and temperature using CO2 should be developed. To be successful, container refrigeration equipment manufacturers must work to combine the best of these components into a carefully designed system. The goal of these new systems should be to achieve a GWP equal to one, minimize environmental impact from materials used, and improve energy efficiency at the same time.
