Nice site. Isn't it amazing that CO2 has been rediscovered?

Hello,

Have you guys seen a large use of CO2/NH3 systems.

We have considered a few in design.
We have also discussed these with a large US cold storage company. They have installed two up to this point.

Yep. Just think... In another 25 years or so, someone may discover ammonia is a good refrigerant. Now wouldn't that be news?:rolleyes:

We had a visiting speaker from Scotland in 2004. Andy Pearson from Star Refigeration.

Andy talked about applications for CO2 was quite an eye opener. Their web site had some interesting articles (not sure if still there)

Geoff Alder met with Andy after his talk and summarised things quite nicely. He used to have the pdf on his web site...

I'm sure that he will email it to anyone on request.


The problem I have with the CO2 refrigeration is the super-critical cooling (not condensing right). My problem is, what happens if the temperature drops and you hit the critical point?


I read a report recently of a proposal for a deep mine cooling system. This proposed a cascade system with CO2 plant underground (3800m deep) and an ammonia heat rejection plant on the surface.

I'm not sure of the safety issues here, maybe someone can comment about the safety of CO2.

I take it your referring to asphyxiation. There are O2 and CO2 sensors available.
Work with LNG alot. As long as you use the proper protective gear. Not alot of concern.
