In this episode of CO2 Experts, we’re joined by Conor Eaton-Smith, Technical Director at K2 Engineering (Cooling) Ltd., to discuss the transition from HFCs to CO2 as a refrigerant. Conor shares his take on the transition, the lessons he learned, and future of refrigeration and CO2. We also cover the misconceptions around refrigerant leakage rates and load estimations, and the benefits of CO2 in terms of carbon footprint and heat recovery. This is part of our continuing CO2 Expert series where we hope to help technicians everywhere with the implementation of more CO2 systems stay informed and adaptable to new advancements in our industry.

In this episode, we discuss:

-Transitioning from HFCs to CO2

-Challenges with HFC systems

-Refrigerant leakage rates

-Overestimating loads and energy consumption

-Future of refrigeration and CO2

-Heat recovery in CO2 systems

-Strategies for efficient heat recovery

-CO2 vs. traditional refrigerants

-The case for CO2 as the future refrigerant
