Episode: Introduction to CO2 w/ Andre Patenaude
Description: In this episode of the podcast, Bryan talks with Andre Patenaude from Emerson about CO2 refrigeration, and transcritical booster systems. Modern CO2 systems are efficient and effective due to their electrical controls and components, including case and high-pressure controls. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a good refrigerant to address global climate change. From a sustainability standpoint, carbon dioxide is a superior refrigerant to HCFCs and HFCs. Carbon dioxide is also an A1 refrigerant, meaning that it is non-toxic and non-flammable. It is also inexpensive and compares to HFCs in cost. Unfortunately, it can rapidly change pressures and is...
