47 5. Case history

48 Case history Where: 1500 sm in Monticello Brianza (Lc) ITALY Highly-efficient, full CO2 integrated system This natural gas system is ideal where the demand for heating and air conditioning is greater than the one for refrigeration. Indeed, in this installation, the system can supply a capacity of 90 kw for medium-temperature utilities, 20 kw for low-temperature utilities and up to 130 kw of air conditioning (both in summer cooling and winter heating mode), as well as 20 kw of DHW. Special features: parallel compression and total heat recovery The smart solution of the gas cooler with built-in evaporator, combined with a customised control software developed by Rivacold, allows evaporation at higher temperatures, even on cold days. Unlike heat pumps, this system guarantees a much simpler management of defrosting and, above all, low consumption and excellent heating performances in the winter, especially during initial opening hours, when the demand could be higher because the heating system is switched off at night, by recovering heat from the refrigeration system which is always up and running. -15% energy consumption vs standard CO 2 booster 48

49 Case history Where: Carrefour Logistic Centre, Nord-Ovest, Torino. ITALY Pumped system CO2 as the refrigerating fluid held at a constant temperature Two packs operating on R134a (providing a total capacity of 800kW) are dedicated to refrigerate CO2 in its liquid state, which is held in a receiver located as part of the pump station. This process is entirely managed by a software designed by Rivacold. Two pumps, both inverter driven guarantee maximum safety and continual operation in the event of a pump failure. The CO2 in its liquid state arrives to evaporators without undergoing any expansion then returns to the receiver tank to supply the circuit again. In order to assure that the CO2 in the circuit is kept in its liquid state the saturated gas naturally forming in the heat exchangers is condensed through 8 plate heat exchangers (4 across each pack) giving heat to the R134a that is being expanded by high efficiency electronic valves. The system uses forced circulation of liquid CO2, compared with traditional indirect fluid systems such as those with propylene or ethylene glycol it offers many advantages. It is especially beneficial for larger capacity applications involving long pipe runs between the plant and areas to be refrigerated. Benefits include: reduced refrigeration capacities and smaller pipe sizes; low energy consumption for pumping; no temperature variation to the evaporators; no problem of oil return; no toxic fluid kept in the circuit, as is constantly in a liquid state; high efficiency thermal exchange. 49
