First warm climate CO₂ transcritical store in the U.S.

One of the first U.S. manufacturers of CO₂ equipment, Hillphoenix has been an industry leader in the adoption of CO₂ refrigeration technology in the U.S. since it installed its first test sites employing CO₂ as a secondary fluid at a Food Lion store in Montpelier, Virginia and at a Sam’s Club in Savannah, Georgia in 2006.

In July 2014, Hillphoenix unveiled the first warm climate CO₂ transcritical installation in the U.S. at a Sprouts Farmers Market in Dunwoody, Georgia. It was the most southern transcritical CO₂ booster system in North America, with the second closest installation located in Indianapolis, IN. The installation involved CO₂ booster technology by Advansor with 4 medium temperature (MT) compressors and 3 low temperature (LT) compressors as well as a TrilliumSeriesTM hybrid evaporative condenser designed for Hillphoenix by Baltimore Aircoil Company, which was key in ensuring efficiency in the warmer climate of metro-Atlanta.
