“Rising Demand for Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Applications”
- With tightening global regulations on high-GWP refrigerants (like R-404A and R-134a), transcritical CO₂ systems—being natural refrigerants with a GWP of 1—are increasingly preferred, especially in commercial refrigeration.
- The expanding retail sector—particularly convenience stores and hypermarkets in urban areas—is fueling demand for sustainable refrigeration. Brands like ALDI and METRO have implemented transcritical CO₂ systems in hundreds of outlets across Europe and North America.
- Innovations like parallel compression and ejector technology have enabled CO₂ systems to perform efficiently in warmer regions.
- For instance, Woolworths in Australia has successfully installed transcritical CO₂ systems in stores located in high ambient temperatures.
- The growing need for eco-friendly, efficient, and regulatory-compliant cooling solutions is making transcritical CO₂ technology a preferred choice in both refrigeration and air conditioning—driving robust market growth globally.
