New CO2OLtecTM refrigeration systems by Carrier is engineered for environmental sustainability, efficiency, and reliability
Carrier Corp. recently introduced the new CO2OLtecTM refrigeration systems. Carrier is a world leader in heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) and launched the new product due to the German incentive program for commercial refrigeration systems using natural refrigerants.
Carrier's CO2OLtec system is engineered for environmental sustainability, efficiency, and reliability and provides lifecycle cost savings in Central and Northern European climates versus systems using conventional refrigerant, according to company statements. As more food retailers incorporate sustainable technologies in their stores, CO2OLtec installations have grown rapidly.
The total net investment cost of a supermarket refrigeration system can be reduced by 25 percent under the German incentive program. Among the food retailers who took advantage of these savings were EDEKA Hövener and HIT Koblenz. They proved that the new CO2 refrigeration technology can be economically deployed.
Heinz Hövener, owner of EDEKA Hövener explained:” As a businessman, my decision to choose CO2 as a refrigerant was based on environmental aspects, and above all, the opportunity to save between 10 and 12 percent on energy costs."
HIT Handelsgruppe Siegburg CEO of sales, Lothar Klopsch stated: "The use of CO2 as a refrigerant is environmentally sustainable, safe and energy-efficient. In addition, greenhouse gas emissions, caused by refrigerants, can be completely avoided when climate-neutral refrigerant is used, compared to conventional systems."
