Components for CO2 applications in Industrial Refrigeration

Product catalog summary
Introduction
This document provides an overview of Danfoss Industrial Refrigeration products designed for CO2 applications, emphasizing design pressure requirements. It includes a table listing components suitable for CO2 applications with their maximum working pressure limits.
General Information about CO2
CO2 is a refrigerant with specific design pressure considerations, including operational, standstill, and safety valve tolerances. A common solution is using a separate refrigeration system to manage liquid CO2 temperature.
Design Pressure
Design pressure considerations include operational, standstill, and defrosting requirements. CO2 hot gas defrosting is efficient but requires high pressure, with a design pressure of 50-52 bar allowing a defrosting temperature of approximately 9-10°C.
Material Compatibility
CO2 affects polymers differently, necessitating modifications. It is compatible with most metals but can cause permeation and swelling in polymers. Danfoss conducts tests to ensure component compatibility with CO2.
Water in CO2 Systems
Water can enter CO2 systems through various means, and its content must be low to prevent freezing and equipment blockage. Driers are effective in removing water.
Safety Valves in CO2 Systems
Safety valves should not have outlet lines to prevent solid CO2 formation. Direct atmospheric release is recommended to avoid blockages.

Industrial Refrigeration Valves for CO2 Applications Material compatibility CO2 is compatible with almost all common metallic materials, unlike NH3. There are no restrictions from a compatibility point of view, when using copper or brass. The compatibility of CO2 and polymers is much more complex. As CO2 is a very inert and stable substance, the chemical reaction with polymers is not critical. The main concern with CO2 is the physiochemical effects, such as permeation, swelling and the generation of cavities and internal fractures. These effects are connected with the solubility and diffusivity...

Industrial Refrigeration Valves for CO2 Applications Water in CO2 systems In NH3 systems it is well known that there are problems as a result of reaction with oil, oxygen, water and solid contaminations, but these are all handled today by frequent oil changes and use of air purgers. Compared to NH3 CO2 is less sensitive, but if water is present, problems may occur. How can water penetrate into a CO2 system? • The pressure of CO2 systems is always above the atmospheric pressure, therefore there are not the same risks as in e.g. NH3 systems, of air/water penetration into a leaking CO2 system. However,...
