HFC-free refrigeration technology for the retail (Currently a technical revolution is taking place in the refrigeration industry) CLIMATECHNO Bart van der Wekken
F- gas regulations Proposal new F-gas regulation: • From 1-1-2016 ban on new installationswith R404A/R507 (GWP>2500) • From 1-1-2020 ban on allHFC’s in new installations • From 1-1-2017 ban on charging existing installations with R404A/R507 Practical consequences: • Notwise building new installationswithR404A/R507 (GWP>2500) • Remodeling: considerationR404A/R507 • Intermediate solution: R407F (GWP=1850) • Future= CO2
Natural refrigerants Hydro Carbons (HC: e.g. Propane and Iso-butane) • Generally excepted in plug-in refrigeration cabinets/refrigerators (charge < 150 gr.) • Market is growing for indirect systems; systems located outdoors • High flammability Ammonia (NH3) • Well known in industrial refrigeration technology • High toxicity Carbon Dioxide (CO2) • Retail refrigeration technology • High pressure
Simplified scheme, Transcritical Booster CO2 • Charge 100% CO2 (HFC-free) • Suitable for moderate climates • Simple system (compared to cascade) • For Dutch climate best solution • TEWI reduction up to 45% • Energy saving 15%
Centralised refrigeration systems for supermarkets • Transcritical CO2 Booster, with LT and MT cabinets, is the best solution for northern Europe (North of Paris) More efficiënt Equal Less efficiënt
Gascooler/Condenser MT CO2 DX Heat recovery LT CO2 DX MT Comp. LT Comp. ICMT ETS Receiver Suction accumulator Evaporator MT Evaporator LT Transcritical Booster CO2 Source: Bitzer
Optimum high pressure • Temperature and pressure are in depended from each other Source: Bitzer
Heat recovery • Heat recovery with CO2 booster installation/vriesinstallatie
CO2 Booster for high temperature climates CO2 booster systems are less efficient at higher ambient temperatures Two solutions: • Water spraying (reducing ambient temp. with about 5K, Tambient>28°C ) • Additional subcooling system (R134a or HC)
CO2 emissions per CO2 eq/kg/year • Dutch supermarket; sales area 1200 m2 • TEWI: • GWP refrigerant • leakage • energy consumption R404A Booster 10% leakage CO2 Booster 10% leakage
Safety issues for CO2 installations Cold room evaporator AKV Liquid line Suction line Check valve Alarm unit • Leak detector in coldroom and machineroom • Alarm at 0,5% (5000ppm) CO2 MAC value • During an alarm the electronic expansion valve (AKV) is closed and only the refrigerant charge of the evaporater is leaking in to the room Sensor leak detector
Safety issues • Discharge safety valves outside
CO2 Booster CE/PED certified (module H/H1) • PS 30Bar • PS 45Bar • PS 120Bar

Conclusions Transcritical CO2 Booster best solution for HFC-free refrigeration technology in the retail. • Up to 15% less energy consumption • Up to 45% TEWI reduction • Suitable for heat recovery Initial costs higher compared to HFC technology • With increasing market share costs of CO2 components will decrease
