Hillphoenix expands industrial CO2 portfolio

USA: Hillphoenix has launched its first standardised industrial CO2 rack, AdvansorUltra, to capitalise on the accelerating adoption of transcritical CO2 refrigeration in the US. 

The AdvansorUltra range offers capacities up to 450TR (1,583kW) per rack, with multiple racks possible for large facilities.

Temperatures typically rangie from -25ºF to 20ºF (-32ºC to -7ºC) and as low as -57ºF (-48ºC) for specialised applications like spiral freezing.

The rack design provides technicians with isolated and better access to serviceable parts to perform most service events without system shutdown.

Options include parallel compression, air, water or hydronic heat reclaim, and Hillphoenix’s ChargeSecure charge-preservation system.

In connection with this launch, Hillphoenix has also upgraded its training facility in Conyers, Georgia, to help bridge the knowledge gap for technicians transitioning from traditional refrigerant systems to transcritical CO2 systems.
