Emerson develops CO2 info tool

USA: Emerson Climate Technologies is to launch a web-based information tool to assist customers moving to CO2 refrigeration systems.

The new tool, which allows customers to easily access information related to Emerson’s CO₂­ products, will be launched at this week’s ATMOsphere America event in Chicago.

Based on a user’s selection of geographic region and product category, a listing of relevant components and accessories is displayed. In addition, important product-specific information is listed. Due to the low critical point and high operating pressures of CO₂ systems, components are required to meet specific pressure ratings to account for these characteristics. The information provided by the CO₂ Information Tool will assist customers in further evaluating components to meet their system needs.

“We see CO₂-based refrigeration systems quickly becoming a leading option for retailers seeking to meet environmental and energy targets,” said Andre Patenaude, director, CO₂ business development, Emerson Climate Technologies.

“As a component manufacturer providing complete CO₂ system components in one place, from scroll and semi-hermetic CO₂ compressor technology to onboard diagnostics, electronic expansion valves and CO₂ high-pressure controllers, Emerson feels this information tool will be a critical piece in helping customers research and choose the best components for a CO₂ application.”

Patenaude will present a paper on subcritical compressors designed for optimised use in NH₃ and CO₂ refrigeration systems on Thursday, June 16.

ATMOsphere America takes place on June 16 and 17 at The Westin Michigan Avenue, Chicago.
