Transcritical CO₂ Science: The Achilles Heel of CO₂ Refrigeration

Energy Recovery’s Chief Scientist, Azam Thatte, Ph.D, explains the benefits and challenges of CO₂ as a refrigerant.

CO₂ offers a climate-friendly alternative to many commercial and industrial refrigeration systems that previously relied on harmful greenhouse gas-emitting refrigerants. Energy Recovery’s PX G1300 unlocks the potential of these refrigeration systems, making them run more efficiently and perform at a wider range of temperatures, overcoming what is often seen as the “Achilles Heel” of CO₂ refrigeration.
