Agenda
• Trends and advantages with CO2
• Solutions
• REMA 1000 - Denmark
• TransGourmet – Germany
• German Discounter – Ireland
• Mathem – Sweden
• Questions, Whom to contact & Next steps

Trends
• Focus on installation costs versus lifetime costs
• Focus on lower total energy consumptions
• Focus on less complexity – easy installation and

maintenance
• Phase out hazardous refrigerants -> implementation

of natural refrigerants
• Use standardized transcritical CO2 racks
Lower total energy consumptions

Less maintenance
Sustainable solution
Why CO2
• Estimated 40-50 % saving on first cost
• Similar energy efficiency over full year
• Very efficient part load operation
• Minimum on-site installation
• No risk of mixing refrigerant or oils
• No ammonia safety management
• Operation without pump systems reduces complexity
• No dry cooler and water system needed for the
condenser
• Efficient heat recovery
• Easier for contractors used to CO2 systems from
food retail to work with distribution centres
40-50% saving on first cost

Less complexity
Same system as for food retail stores

Total system performance
• Total system performance calculation adding

extra Dt on the ammonia system due to
• 3K lower evaporating temperature for the

cascade cooler
• 4 % extra power consumption for the
refrigerant and dry cooler pumps
• 3K extra for the water cooled to dry cooler
PHE
• Adding the above makes a transcritical

system as efficient as an ammonia cascade
system.
Less maintenance for transcritical systems
• Semi hermetic piston compressors operate up to 100.000 hours or more without maintenance.
• As no maintenance is required, using many compressors is not a problem, but it offers flexibility at
part load with redundancy compressors in operation
• Statistics from Bitzer states that 1 out of 150 compressors can fail in a lifespan of 100.000 hours
• Only basic spare parts such as filter inserts and drier cores is required
• Recommended oil sample yearly

Solutions Overview - Customisable
SteelX MT /LT: 400 / 230kW
SteelXL MT / LT: 1400 / 700 KW

REMA1000
• Rema1000 distribution centre in Denmark
(Reitan Distribution)
• New distribution centre with high energy efficiency
refrigeration
• Medium temperature (MT) only
• High-capacity requirements
• Energy savings
• Alternative to ammonia
Solution
• SteelXL for direct expansion MT only
• High efficiency with parallel compressors
• 960 kW @ -4°C capacity on a single frame
• High suction pressure and permanent magnet motors
• Basic system, in operation since 2018
TransGourmet Cash & Carry
• 30.000 m2 distribution center Hamburg Germany
• High capacity on several suction groups
• High efficiency dx system
• Integrated AC and heat recovery system
• Large system requires efficient oil management
• Space constraints
• Started up in 2019
Solution
4 identical racks Steel XL 4+3x4 – delivered split in 2
• 100 kW AC @+7 °C
• 375 kW MT @ -3 °C
• 266 kW @ -28°C
• Heat recovery 2 stage
• Gas ejector with parallel compression
• LSPM motors
• Ultra Low Superheat Module (ULS)
Ultra-Low Superheat Module
The most energy efficient system with the current technology
• It replaces the pump system and thereby the complexity of

flooded systems -> 95% of the energy savings can be obtained for 25% of
the price.
• It allows very low returning temperature from the evaporators,
is very robust and will collect any returning liquid.
• Typically, the suction pressure can be increased by around 4-5
kelvin resulting in energy savings around 10%.
• Payback time in warm climate less than 2 years, comparing with standard
parallel system
• Combined with a gas ejector additional savings up to 20% can be
achieved
Ultra-Low Superheat Module
• Everything connected from factory or delivered separate
on a module – tested from factory
• It can be placed separately any where and takes

up less space
• Great side effects

• Subcooling of liquid line
• ~10% less mass flow in suction line
• Up to 70% reduction in defrosting
Most energy efficient system

Factory tested
Flexible placement
Ejector and ULS – how and why
• 95% as efficient and 25% of the price of a pump module due to CO2
• Liquid and gas ejectors can be used to optimize the solution
• The overall efficiency will depend on the actual yearly weather conditions
• If heat recovery with high temperature output is needed the ejectors operation will be
more stable

German Discount Chain
• Distribution Center in Mullingar, Ireland
• Based on a standardized Transcritical CO2 design
• Total 550 kW LT + 1450 kW MT + 670 kW HT
• Identical racks for easy operation and
maintenance
• Multiple racks to provide redundancy and
resilience to the plant
• Direct expansion system for LT and MT
• Chillers for HT and AC
Solution
• 3 identical racks SteelXL 6+3x4,
• 183 kW @ -38°C
• 475 kW @ -8°C
• Frequency drive on two first MT and LT compressors for load flexibility and redundancy
• 2 racks for chilled glycol for HT and AC SteelX 5x0
• 335 kW @ 0°C
