Rob Arthur presents a project that aimed to develop a commercial refrigeration system that was more energy efficient and more environmentally friendly then the standard refrigeration systems being used in U.S. grocery stores today. He shows that the ammonia/CO₂ cascade system is predicted to be at a minimum 10% more energy efficient with very little global warming potential and no ozone depletion potential. Project sponsor is the Department of Energy through the Commercial Building Partnership programme that is managed by National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL).
