CCR upgrades CO2 coolers to 130bar

GERMANY: CCR Commercial Refrigeration’s CO₂ gas coolers have now been manufactured and upgraded to operate at 130bar, aligning with the company’s 120bar rack systems.

From gas coolers to racks and condensing units, CCR Commercial Refrigeration’s entire lineup – from 10kW to beyond 1MW – is now available at 130bar. This includes the QuietCO2OL MC indoor and outdoor units, MiniCO2OL indoor and outdoor, MaxiCO2OL, GC5, PowerCO2OL, CO₂ Soprano, CO₂ Alto, CO₂ Tenor and Centrifugal CO₂ Soprano and Tenor.

The 120bar QuietCO₂OL MC remains available as standard for systems that do not require the upgrade. 

The upgrade increases cooling capacity by up to 20% compared to traditional 120bar transcritical CO2 racks.
