Utilizing carbon dioxide (CO2 or R744) as a refrigerant offers numerous environmental benefits, such as low global warming potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion potential, as well as long-term financial benefits to the user. Continuous improvement and staying up to date with industry advancements are key to optimizing the use of CO2, and the PRO Refrigeration team does exactly that with their PROGreen Solutions team. • Environmental Impact: CO2 (R744) has a Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating of 1, meaning it has no impact on global warming. In comparison, PRO's other equipment uses the refrigerant R404A with a GWP of 3,900. By adopting CO2 refrigerant, PRO significantly reduces carbon emissions and contributes to environmental sustainability. • Energy Efficiency: CO2 systems can operate above the trans critical point, allowing for increased heat recovery of more than 100%. By generating hot water even during low cooling load and low ambient periods, CO2 system users can eliminate the need for fossil fuel heating sources while shrinking their carbon footprint. • Cost Efficiency: CO2 refrigerant costs are currently 95% lower per pound than common chemical-based refrigerants. Utilizing CO2 recovered from the atmosphere, PRO is eliminating the need for expensive synthetic refrigerants that all have a future phase-out date.
