1 st generation: Booster system The transcritical booster system is the most commonly used CO 2 system today. 40C/104F 102 bar/1480 PSI Mass flow Pressure levels GC Pressure HP 50-110 bar 100% The installed base is +10.000 systems with Danfoss components (as of August 2017). Liquid line 32-37 bar 45% Pressure suction MT 25-30 bar The market has chosen this as the standard system. 55% MT 55% LT Pressure suction LT 13-16 bar 11 Danfoss Cooling Danfoss Refrigerant Week Cool Tools Sept. 2017
1 st generation: Booster system Pros: Long track record with large install base mainly in colder climates. Relatively simple compared to most of the other systems on the market. Approx. 12% lower energy consumption than R404a in Amsterdam. Cons: Energy consumption in warm ambient temperature is the main problem. Swept volume increases dramatically in warm ambient temperatures. Application: The system covers from small and all the way up to very large systems (CDU, Discounters up to Hypermarkets). Geographically, the system has a very good foothold in the northern European climate. 12 Danfoss Cooling Danfoss Refrigerant Week Cool Tools Sept. 2017
2 nd generation: Parallel compression Parallel compression is the first step into the development towards bringing CO 2 into a warmer climate. Parallel compression is giving a significant improvement of COP in warm climates. In addition to that, it is also giving a reduction of swept volume of the compressors (lower first cost). 40C/104F 102 bar/ 1480 PSI Liquid line 32-37 bar Mass flow Pressure levels GC 45% MT Pressure HP 50-110 bar 100% Pressure suction MT 25-30 bar 55% 55% This reduction of cost can not be realized on systems smaller than approx 100-150 kw, but on larger systems a reduction in cost present. LT 13 Danfoss Cooling Danfoss Refrigerant Week Cool Tools Sept. 2017 Pressure suction L 13-16 ba
2 nd generation: Parallel compression Pros The system has been on the market for some years and the installations are counted in several hundreds. Approx. 18% saving on energy consumption in Amsterdam VS R404A Compressor sizes are smaller and not as growing as fast in warm ambient Integration with AC makes sense Cons The system is more complex than the booster system. Small systems are difficult because the compressors are divided in to 2 suction groups Application: The system fits system sizes from approx. 100-150 kw and up. System can be combined with AC with good results. Geographically, the system has the largest install base in southern Europe and warmer ambient. 14 Danfoss Cooling Danfoss Refrigerant Week Cool Tools Sept. 2017
3 rd generation: Parallel compression with gas ejector First system in opperation with Danfoss Multi Ejector started in January 2015. The ejectors are moving gas from MT suction to parallel compressor. In some cases, all gas can be moved from MT to parallel compressor (high ambient temperature or 100% heat recovery). 40C/104F 102 bar/ 1480 PSI Liquid line 32-37 bar 55% Mass flow Pressure levels GC 25% MT Pressure HP 50-110 bar 100% 70% 30% 55% Pressure suction MT 25-30 bar LT Pressure suction LT 13-16 bar 15 Danfoss Cooling Danfoss Refrigerant Week Cool Tools Sept. 2017
3 rd generation: Parallel compression with gas ejector Pros: System is penetrating the market this years Solutions shows better energy consumption in any climate and removes the CO 2 equator Compressor sizes are smaller and not as grooving as fast Combination with AC makes very good sense Approx. 20% savings VS R404A in Amsterdam Cons: The system is more complex than the booster systems and also parallel compression Small systems are difficult because of the compressors divided in to 2 suction groups Application: The system fits system sizes from approx. 100-150 kw and up. System can be combined with AC with very good results. Geographically the system can be installed in any climate with lower energy consumption than R404a. 16 Danfoss Cooling Danfoss Refrigerant Week Cool Tools Sept. 2017
Next generation: Liquid ejector Add on to transcritical systems Liquid ejector systems allow the MT evaporator to be flooded. The saving is coming from the higher suction pressure of the compressors. Ejector is in this case substituting a pump or other means of removing the liquid from the suction side Trials has been running since 2013 with good results. Evaporation temperature is in average raised by 5K. Saving is load dependent and dependent on most leaded evaporator GC MT LT 17 Danfoss Cooling Danfoss Refrigerant Week Cool Tools Sept. 2017
Next generation: Liquid ejector Pros: Very promising results from the tests running Relatively simple system where the complexity is in the controllers and not in the lay out. Commercially available Q2 2018 Approx. 10% saving in energy and can be added to the previous savings Cons: Increases complexity slightly of the systems and controls Reducing superheat will give some of the same effects Application: The system covers from small and all the way up to very large systems (CDU, Discounters up to Hypermarkets). Geographically the system will provide the saving in any climate. 18 Danfoss Cooling Danfoss Refrigerant Week Cool Tools Sept. 2017

Next generation: Low pressure lift ejectors for small systems The Low pressure lift ejector system can be used for smaller applications Simple setup very much like a booster systems Can also be combined with liquid ejector and in warm periods there is no need for suction accumulator (receiver will work as suction accumulator) GC MT LT 24 Danfoss Cooling Danfoss Refrigerant Week Cool Tools Sept. 2017
Next generation: Low pressure lift ejectors for small systems Pros: Very promising results from the tests running Cost savings and energy savings go hand in hand. Suited for systems small systems Simple system Flooded evap. Is easy to implement 16 28% saving in Amsterdam Vs R404A Cons: Only limited results from the field (only 3 systems in operation) Patents can be a problem in some regions (not in Holland) Application: Condensing units, smaller supermarket systems. 25 Danfoss Cooling Danfoss Refrigerant Week Cool Tools Sept. 2017

Pay back for Low pressure lift ejector system Not enough data to say something precise at this moment When technology is matured there is a potential for lower cost than a booster system even on smaller systems. This combined with energy savings makes it very interesting. 33 Danfoss Cooling Danfoss Refrigerant Week Cool Tools Sept. 2017
