Paulo Cebola Santos Pereira - CryoTech Transport Refrigeration: proven for high quality, sustainable and cost effective retail distribution
PDF document
published on 16 October 2013
Paulo Pereira from Thermo King presents CryoTech, transport refrigeration technology using cryogenics (liquid CO2 maintained at extremely cold temperature in an open cycle within an evaporator).
Periera explains that the use of cryogenics is particularly suitable to guarantee the freshness of perishable food products in the food retail distribution chain: CryoTech performances remain independent from the outside temperature thanks to greater pull down capacities (4 times faster than in a conventional cycle) without forgetting the fact that this technology entitles significant noise reduction allowing in-city night logistics operations.
Pereira presents the proven economic value of the CryoTech based on SPAR Netherlands success story: The company took back the control of their cold chain as they eliminated completely shuttling operation for a multi drop integrated distribution chain. This carried a reduction of driven kilometres by 28% and a reduction of the transportation costs by 13%. In addition, CO2 emissions due to their transport activity dropped by 27%. Today 100% of SPAR fleet has been converted to CryoTech.

Matteo Valerin - Solutions for a small footprint: CO2 installations
PDF document
published on 16 October 2013
Matteo Valerin presents CAREL's controls and valves solutions to mainstream the use of transcritical CO2 in small footprint units, such as condensing units, for small to medium applications.
In its commitment to help systems manufacturers to be more competitive and to overpass the traditional barriers of costs and complexity of transcritical systems for the end users, CAREL designs compact, integrated, simple and intuitive control systems and components.
Among them: the small version of the pRack transcritical unit controller family, the pR100T, which helps to reduce significantly the size of a condensing unit or the E2V, compact regulation valves yet perfectly compatible with high pressure.

Andreas Nolte - New horizons for our store technology
PDF document
published on 16 October 2013
Andreas Nolte, Managing Director of Nolte aktiv-markt GmbH, a company that owns several supermarkets under the Edeka Group which is one of the largest food grocers in Germany, says in his presentation that since 2009 transcritical CO2 systems and subcritical hybrid cascade systems have been the preferred choice at Edeka Südwest. As a result, today Edeka Südwest has 106 transcritical CO2 refrigeration systems and 59 subcritical hybrid cascade systems in operation.

Paul Alway - Current natural refrigerant technology and next steps towards HFC-free heat reclaim
PDF document
published on 16 October 2013
Paul Alway talks about UK retailer Marks & Spencer (M&S) experience of using pumped CO2 cascade refrigeration systems in 82 out of their 500 food halls. The retailer has trialled several different CO2 cascade systems, including systems using CO2/hydrocarbons, CO2/R404a and CO2/R134a. However, due to the complexity of these systems and as the retailer’s goal is to become HFC-free and to integrate heat reclaim, the question facing M&S today is whether to develop an HFC-free front end for the current installed base of CO2 pumped systems, or transition to CO2 transcritical.
