Marc-André Lesmerises - R744 refrigerant, ready for today's market
PDF document
published on 18 June 2013
While the benefits of transrictial CO2 systems are well accepted by several supermarket chains, Marc-André Lesmerises, President of Carnot Refrigeration, in his presentation looks at other types of applications that could benefit from CO2 technology. The focus of the presentation is a retrofit project by Carnot Refrigeration during which a new CO2 refrigeration system in a complex of 3 Ice Rinks was installed. Mr Lesmerises concludes that the Ice Rink projects are actually at parity with HFC technologies when the heat reclaim capability is included in the initial costs.

Mark Tomooka - A Manufacturers Approach to Building and Promoting Natural Refrigerant Systems
PDF document
published on 18 June 2013
Mark Tomooka, Engineering Manager from Mayekawa USA, provides an interesting review of ammonia supermarket systems, identifying success factors as well as sharing the lessons learned from Mayekawa’s experience. Although CO2 is often the preferred refrigerant for commercial applications, Mayekawa’s experience with the CO2/ammonia store in Carpinteria proves that the interest in ammonia systems is increasing due to its compact construction, market price and energy efficiency.

Masood Ali - State of the industry
PDF document
published on 18 June 2013
An extensive overview of the state of the natural refrigerant industry in North America is presented by Masoon Ali from Heatcraft Worldwide Refrigeration. Natural refrigerants have an energy efficiency advantage and with regulatory standards introduced the market is maturing. The lack of economies of scope and scale is one of the obstacles in commercialisation of natural refrigerants, however, the supplier base is increasing and the costs are coming down, emphasizes Mr Ali in his presentation.
