How It Works

Pressure exchangers recycle pressure energy from high-pressure CO2 to low-pressure CO2. Similar to a heat exchanger, which exchanges heat between two fluid streams, the pressure exchanger transfers pressure energy. Pressure exchangers can function as a compressor and high-pressure valve within a CO2 system to reduce compressor workload which increases cooling capacity, system stability, and energy efficiency.

Based on third-party analysis, the PX G1300 pressure exchanger can increase the energy efficiency of CO2-based commercial refrigeration systems by more than 25% at 35-40°C (95- 104°F) and more than 30% above 40°C (104°F), compared to a standard CO2 system with no energy recovery devices.
