CO2 Refrigeration PX G1300™ for CO2 Refrigeration Energy Recovery’s PX G1300 (PX G) energy recovery device is designed to enhance the operability, reliability, and environmental sustainability of commercial and industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) refrigeration systems. CONTACT US A Big Leap in System Efficiency = More Savings The PX G1300 (PX G) from Energy Recovery offers customers the ability to future-proof refrigeration operations at a lower cost. PX G can reduce the energy consumption and operating costs of CO2 refrigeration systems in a broad range of operating conditions, increasing CO2 refrigeration system efficiency, particularly in higher ambient temperatures. In fact, the warmer it gets, the better the PX G performs. The PX G1300 recycles otherwise wasted pressure energy and returns it to the CO2 system. Through this process, the PX G can reduce the energy consumption and operating costs of CO2 refrigeration systems. The PX G is a new application of already proven pressure exchanger (PX) technology, specially designed for carbon dioxide (CO2) refrigeration, making it possible to green your refrigeration operations while preserving operating margin. Compared to a standard booster CO2 system with no energy recovery device, a system with the PX G1300 can reduce energy consumption, saving you thousands of dollars in annual energy costs. PX G1300 Benefits – Enables cost-effective, green CO2 refrigeration systems. – Reduces energy consumption and operating costs of CO2 refrigeration systems. – Offers customers the ability to future-proof refrigeration operations at lower cost. – Utilizes Energy Recovery’s pressure exchanger technology, trusted by the largest drinking water producers in the world. Global Regulation is Driving Adoption of CO2 Systems Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants have been used in commercial and industrial refrigeration systems for years. Unfortunately, HFCs pose a significant threat to our climate, contributing thousands times more to global warming than CO2. The Kigali Amendment, an amendment to the Montreal Protocol, targets a significant reduction in HFC use and is driving the global cold chain to transition to refrigerants with lower environmental impact. The European Union, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and some U.S. states have followed suit with similar initiatives, some of which propose more aggressive transition time tables than the Kigali Amendment. This regulation is expected to drive a surge of CO2 system installations, however, CO2 is not without its hurdles. CO2 systems are costlier to operate than HFC systems, requiring higher pressures and, therefore, more energy to achieve the same refrigeration results. CO2 system efficiency also steadily degrades as the ambient temperature rises, therefore limiting adoption of CO2 refrigeration in warmer climates. The PX G offers a solution to this higher temperature hurdle, aiming to reduce the operating cost disadvantage of CO2 systems in higher ambient temperatures. With the significant energy savings enabled by Energy Recovery’s PX G, CO2 refrigeration has real potential to break through the barrier of the CO2 equator, a geographical limit for the cost-effectiveness of CO2 refrigeration systems, and replace the high global warming potential – known as high GWP – refrigerants used by 95% of supermarkets in that zone. How the PX G1300 Works in a CO2 Refrigeration System The PX G uses Energy Recovery’s trusted pressure exchanger technology, a versatile technology that recycles pressure energy within industrial fluid-flow systems and can handle gas and liquids. Many of Energy Recovery’s products, including our award-winning PX® Pressure Exchanger® for seawater desalination, use pressure exchanger technology. Just like our PX Pressure Exchanger recycles the pressure energy of seawater in desalination to save energy, our PX G for CO2 refrigeration can recycle the pressure energy in a CO2 system. This reduces the energy consumption in the system, as well as related costs and emissions. PX G1300 Makes the Transition to CO2 Refrigeration an Easy Choice The PX G operates alongside the high-pressure valve of the refrigeration system and is designed to “bolt-on” to a CO2 system for straightforward and risk-free installation. Instead of simply throttling the pressure energy at a high-pressure valve, the PX G harvests the energy to reduce compressor work and reduce power requirements. Diminished compressor work saves energy and reduces compressor duty cycles, leading to lower maintenance needs for the compressors and savings for the system operator.
