Sales of an industrial-size coalescent oil separator from U.S. component manufacturer Temprite are benefitting from the emergence of transcritical CO2 as a force in industrial refrigerator, said Temprite President Jim Nonnie.
“For decades it’s been ammonia uncontested,” Nonnie said, in an interview at Temprite’s booth at the IIAR 2022 Conference in Savannah, Georgia (U.S.), held March 6-9. “Now all of a sudden, here comes transcritical CO2 taking a piece of ammonia refrigeration’s turf.”
The industrial coalescent oil separator, model 239A, which Temprite has been marketing in earnest over the past year and a half, accommodates twice the refrigeration capacity as Temprite’s next largest unit, model 139A. Both are part of the company’s 130 Series of coalescent oil separators, designed specifically for transcritical CO2 systems. Temprite, based in West Chicago, Illinois (U.S.), is planning to release an even larger unit over the next year, said Nonnie.
