The recent introduction of international directives on the control of environmental CO2 emissions has had a major impact on the commercial refrigeration sector. Governments around the world are planning to soon approximate into national law directives on the reduction of HFC refrigerants, the so-called F-gases with high environmental impact, and establish regulations to promote the transition to natural refrigerants.
“High-efficiency technology using alternative refrigerants to HFCs” is the title of the presentation by Biagio Lamanna, CAREL HVAC/R Knowledge Center Manager, aimed at underlining how it is possible to combine natural refrigerants with energy saving.

Refrigerants scenario
Effects of the transition between HFCs and their alternatives
• Specific unit design may cause initial poor unit design due to lack of competences or time
lower efficiency
• Compromises natural refrigerants and low GWP HFO blends are not designed to be “good
refrigerants” only, they are a compromise between different needs
lower efficiency vs HFCs
• Increased unit cost propane and CO2 require a specific components and safety devices (what about
ROI?)
higher efficiency is needed vs HFCs
• Increased unit displacement CO2 requires extra components and pipings to work properly
wise use of space is needed

Technologies: DC compressors
On-Off cycling is not efficient as the
refrigeration circuit needs time to reach the
nominal efficiency. Part load conditions (i.e.
25%) won’t allow to reach nominal efficiency.
Average efficiency is very low.
This area represents the increase of
efficiency at part load. It’s bigger with a wider
DC compressor capacity range
A refrigeration application is working for the
largest part of the time at partial load
Permanent magnet variable capacity compressors
driven by intelligent DC drives (inverters)

All unauthorized use, reproduction or distribution of this document or the information contained in it,

Technologies: DC compressors
INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY:
• 10-40% higher part load efficiency VS fixed speed
BETTER PERFORMANCES:
• The controlled temperature is stable without on-off cycling
• Lower noise operation at all most frequent conditions (part load)
BETTER RELIABILITY:
• Soft start of the compressor with controlled speed ramp
• Extremely reduced number of compressor start-stops
• Lower pressure ratio and temperature of the compressor
REDUCED ENCUMBRANCE:
• The compressor is smaller compared to a fixed speed one of the
same capacity thanks to its speed range (up to 7800rpm VS
3600rpm)

Technologies: Electronic Exp. Valves
INCREASED ENERGY EFFICIENCY:
• 10-40% higher efficiency VS mechanical devices (thermostatic valves, cap. tubes)
BETTER RELIABILITY:
• Can protect the compressor managing suction and discharge pressures, temperatures
and superheat values
BETTER PERFORMANCES:
• Duty temperatures are reached very quickly and kept stable when using EEVs (also in
case of refrigerant leakages!)
EASIER MAINTENANCE:
• No need of periodic checks on superheat regulation. Probes and controllers used to
drive EEVs can provide useful feedback on the unit/plant behavior/issues
