    Coping with Varying Evaporating Temperatures on Trans Crit CO2 Systems



    I have a scenario whereby I have multiple evaporators operating on the same CO2 condensing unit with widely varying evaporating temperatures.

    I don't know of anyone that offers an EPR valve suitable for high pressures so wonder how I can control the evaporating temperatures in the highest evaporating systems.

    F&V evaporator is at +2°C with the lowest evap temp fixture at -7°C. I can't have the F&V at -7 because the Delta T to the Room (+8°C) is too wide and could dry product.

    I could separate the F&V evaps onto their own condensing units but I need to keep the number of condensing units to a minimum for economic and space reasons.

    Any help/advice would be very much appreciated.

    I'm not an expert on CO² but would a plate heat exchanger providing a secondary cooling fluid circuit for the higher temperature circuit be feasible?

    Could a ICM valve be used as a EPR? Is it for a pack or a cubo2 type of unit?

    As Sean mensions, Danfoss will be able to sort you out.

    You can use either a combination of a Danfoss ICS valve with a CVP (HP) pressure pilot valve as a simple back pressure control valve , or an ICM valve with an ICAD motor plus an electronic controller such as an EKC 361 with a PT1000 temperature sensor for remote control applications . Did this on many supermarket CO2 systems in the UK
