Applications of CO₂ Transcritical Refrigeration
CIMCO's CO₂ transcritical refrigeration systems use carbon dioxide (R744) as a natural refrigerant, delivering exceptional efficiency and ultralow global warming potential (GWP). Engineered for freezer and cooler applications, capacity ranges typically span 14 to 260 TR, scalable beyond for larger facilities.
