Founded in 1934, Bitzer designs, manufactures and commercialises refrigerant compressors and pressure vessels with natural refrigerants as well as ammonia compressor packages. In his presentation, Engineering Manager Joe Sanchez presented an overview of the different systems using CO₂ compressors and highlighted some of their main projects in commercial and industrial applications in the U.S. While the industry is continually evolving compressor manufacturers' goals remain the same: lower cost, increase efficiency, reliability, availability, and develop a wide range of low-noise products.
