And when talking about ways to use it, the most often discussed approach is in transcritical applications. That thought process formed the basis for a supermarket end-user panel discussion this summer in Washington, D.C., at the second Atmosphere America Natural Refrigerants Conference. Participants came from Dehaize America (which owns the Food Lion chain), Sobeys, Sprouts, SuperValu, and Whole Foods, amongst others. moreWelcoming Space Engineering Services and Johnson Controls as Silver Sponsors News | 10 September 2013We are pleased to announce the newest Silver Sponsors to support the fifth consecutive ATMOsphere Europe 2013: Space Engineering Services and Johnson Controls.

Low-charge ammonia can be competitiveNews | 22 August 2013Can carbon dioxide and ammonia work together? Apparently so, according to Mark Tomooka of Mayekawa in the US.In his conference presentation, Tomooka described the company’s NH3/C02 solutions for the supermarket industry, in which ammonia charge is kept below 250 pounds.
One system was installed in a SuperValue store in the town of Carpinteria in California in 2012 that is described as the first “all natural” supermarket in the US.
Tomooka said the Carpinteria project proved a low-charge ammonia system can be competitive with other systems.
"This store is seeing efficiency gains of 13 to 30 per cent,” he said.
He said there are signs the market for natural refrigerants in the US is maturing.
These signs include the development of standards such as the Underwriters’ Laboratories (UL) approval for C02 transcritical compressors and a pending update to ASHRAE standard 15, which will include C02 transcritical options.
CIMCO Refrigeration presented a case study demonstrating a successful ammonia/CO2 refrigeration system deployment at Canadawide, one of the country’s largest distributors of fruit and vegetables.
The system has saved Canadawide nearly 20 per cent in maintenance costs, with even more significant reductions in operating costs.
Danfoss vice president of public affairs, Robert Wilkins, said no single refrigerant is suitable for all applications. more
