carbon dioxide refrigeration

Carbon dioxide refrigeration uses CO₂ as a refrigerant to transfer heat and cool spaces or products. In this system, CO₂ absorbs heat from the area needing cooling and then releases it outside or elsewhere, making the space colder. It is environmentally friendly because CO₂ has a low global warming potential and ozone depletion risk. The system operates at high pressure, and CO₂ is effective even in cold environments. It’s used in supermarkets, cold storage, and industrial processes, offering a safe, efficient, and eco-conscious alternative to traditional refrigerants.
