In collaboration with Epta, a refrigeration rack manufacturer in Europe, the supermarket chain became the first in Europe to incorporate a PX G1300 energy recovery device into its CO2 refrigeration system.
With a simple design that needs virtually no maintenance, the PX G1300 lowers the energy use of a CO2 system by recycling pressure energy, allowing the system to run more efficiently. Choosing a PX G1300-enabled CO2 system comes at no additional cost to a supermarket, as it offsets the need for other components.
Once the PX G1300 was installed, the supermarket saw efficiency improvements over 30% at temperatures above 40°C (104°F), compared to a standard CO2 booster system.
