Kenneth Welter, Senior Manager of Engineering at Baltic Trail Engineering, presented on a trial CO₂ transcritical installation at Giant Grocery Store located in Springfield, Virginia. Although too early to comment on energy performance, Welter observed the initial benefits such as easier piping installation compared to HFC loop piping, faster and less expensive discharge gas piping and better quality compressor rack construction. Baltic Trail Engineering works with supermarkets to provide innovative refrigeration system solutions, as well as refrigeration and HVAC service management.
