Subcritical CO2 Industrial Refrigerating Systems with low NH3 levels

We design and market units that make use of natural and low-level CO2 / NH3 coolants, which drastically reduce NH3 loads and increase efficiency and whose main advantages are as follows:

Comprehensive solution: development and assembly of whole units (compressors, CO2 / NH3 cascade capacitors, pressure vessels, pumps, valves, etc.).
Energy savings.
Customized projects.
Vast experience in the European market.
CE certificates – PED marking for units.
Warranty covering all parts of the unit.

Energy savings

Of up to 40% of the energy consumed.

The facilities are energy efficient since “on average, 70% of the total costs of their life cycle stem from their energy consumption. These costs are sometimes higher than the investment itself” (AEFYT, Spanish Association for Cooling Companies and Technologies).

Comparing systems under two different evaporation and condensation conditions shows how the model with the CO2 / NH3 cascade capacitor is more efficient.

Return on investment

It is a better option (in terms of feasibility and depreciation) than other industrial refrigerating systems.

To make an assessment of the refrigerating facilities and the industrial and environmental costs deriving from it, the investment cost can no longer be used as the main parameter. Life-cycle costs must also be taken into account, and it is necessary to calculate the total costs of the facility over its expected service life. These include:

• Investment and depreciation costs.
• Energy consumption during this period.
• Maintenance costs.
• Decommissioning costs.

Cheaper coolants

In CO2 facilities, the cost of coolants (in €/Kg) is much lower than in those only using NH3 or HCFs (where an additional penalty fee must be paid as well).

Lower environmental impact

Stricter rules and regulations, as well a wider political and social awareness on climate change and the need to protect the ozone layer, have brought into focus new alternatives for refrigerating systems (such as the use of CO2). There is no doubt on the positive environmental effects combining natural coolants (like CO2 and NH3) can have, and their contribution to ecological security.

Thanks to our use of CO2 refrigerating systems to reduce the environmental impact, our Company and products have received the Carbon Footprint certification. Moreover, our facilities are internationally deemed sustainable thanks to our LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) credentials.

THE NATURAL SOLUTION IN TERMS OF SAVINGS AND EFFICIENCY

GIPAT designs and markets units that make use of natural and low-level CO2 / NH3 coolants, which drastically reduce NH3 loads and increase efficiency and whose main advantages are as follows:

Comprehensive solution: design and assembly of whole units.

Energy savings.

Customized projects.

Vast experience in the European market.

CE certificates – PED marking for units.

Warranty covering all parts of the unit.

New ammonia cascade systems for cooling capacities of up to 200 kW (using less than 100 kg of ammonia)

SUMMARY OF BENEFITS AND ADVANTAGES

ENERGY SAVINGS of up to 40%.
RETURN ON INVESTMENT, with better sustainability and depreciation levels than other refrigerating systems.
CHEAPER COOLANTS than the ones used in NH3 or HCF systems, with no additional penalty fees.
SUSTAINABILITY. Our use of CO2 refrigerating systems to reduce the environmental impact, our Company and products have received the Carbon Footprint certification. Moreover, our facilities are internationally deemed sustainable thanks to our LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) credentials.
AVOID PENALTIES AND EXTRA TAXES. Stricter rules promoting energy savings and environmental protection mean more regulations and penalty fees for industrial refrigerating systems that are not CO2 based.
LOWER INSTALLATION COSTS.
