Here`s some quick facts about CO 2:
- Some markets are only buying seafood produced using natural refrigerants
- Environmental advocates and NGOs promote it which means better public opinion and ease of new aquaculture license approvals
- CO2 is one of the only "future-proof" refrigerants... meaning it will not be phased out. In contrast, most conventional refrigerants that are popular now are slated for phase-out before the end-of-life of the equipment they are in.
- In almost all cases, CO2 chillers are a more energy efficient choice than chillers with conventional refrigerants by 15 to 40%
Why
- Environmentally safe – CO2 is already in the atmosphere
- Significantly higher volumetric cooling capacities
- Leaks will not damage products
- Highly efficient even in large systems
- CO2 is non-toxic and non-flammable
Marketing advantages
- Environmental NGO`s approve (including greenpeace)
- Removes some environmental stigma from the product
- Some E-U supermarkets asking for `green cooling initiatives` from seafood suppliers
Key points
- Buying a conventional chiller today means expensive maintenance in 3-10 years
- CO2 refrigerant is a `future proof` option
- Using natural refrigerants like CO2 is a massive competitive
- Advantage that opens new markets
- High ambient strategies make CO2 a more efficient choice in almost All regions
- CO2 as a refrigerant opens up a whole new world of heating Efficiencies also
