CIMCO’s Cold Storage Refrigeration Solutions Can Help Your Business Reduce its Environmental Footprint 

Whether your business requires a large refrigerated warehouse for meat packaging or smaller industrial cold storage refrigeration to keep baked cakes fresh, CIMCO is ready to help you find sustainable cold storage solutions to fit your needs and budget. Sustainability is not an afterthought at CIMCO – it's woven into all of the products and solutions we offer. Before starting your project, CIMCO can complete a feasibility study to determine the potential natural gas energy savings and scope out the integration of sustainable technology.

As refrigeration experts, CIMCO prioritizes the need for businesses to reduce their overall costs as well as their impact on the environment.

Illustrating CIMCO's unwavering dedication to delivering on its commitments, a pivotal project carried out at Conestoga Cold Storage comes to the forefront. In this endeavor, Conestoga opted for a customized industrial CO2 system for their ambitious 140 ft high-rise freezer installation. This installation also featured a fully automated robotic picking system, along with the addition of a refrigerated dock and blast-freezing capabilities to the existing facility. A thorough energy analysis identified CO2 as the most efficient solution, boasting a quicker payback period compared to traditional ammonia. The implemented system comprises an indoor transcritical CO2 package, boasting six low-temperature compressors and eight high-temperature compressors. This intricate configuration culminates in an impressive refrigeration capacity of 45 TR (158 kW) for high-temperature requirements and 250 TR (879 kW) for low-temperature needs.

CO2 is a natural refrigerant, characterized by a notably low Global Warming Potential of 1. In stark contrast, various other fluorinated gas (f-gas) refrigerants exhibit Global Warming Potentials that extend into the thousands. By embracing CO2 as its chosen refrigerant, Conestoga Cold Storage is poised to make significant strides in emission reduction and a substantial decrease in overall operational costs.

"We are happy with our decision to go with a CO2 system at our Calgary facility,” said Gavin Sargeant, Executive Vice President of Conestoga. ‘We are hopeful the projected energy savings will be realized in the long term. System reliability, durability, and safety are key factors in our decision to go with CO2 for the Calgary installation. If the system continues to perform well, we will consider expanding our western regions systems in the future.”
