A new technology trend in the transport refrigeration sector brought to the ATMOsphere conference by Bart W. Ezendam from Thermo King is the open cycle CO₂ refrigeration. Liquid CO₂ obtained as a by-product from industrial production is stored in a tank mounted to a truck and when released cools air through an evaporator coil located in a refrigerated space.
