The new Mobile Training Unit from Danfoss, Denmark, is equipped with CO2 technology and interactive learning modules, is responding to this demand worldwide. “Danfoss is a leading provider of CO2 solutions, and we encourage the use of this sustainable refrigerant. Our mobile training unit will go a long way in promoting the benefits of CO2,” said Hans Ole Matthiesen, at Danfoss.

The natural refrigerant CO2 is replacing climate-damaging HFCs around the world as retailers look for environmentally friendly alternatives amid the f-gas phase-down. Although the technology and mechanisms for CO2 refrigeration is readily available today, professionals working on these systems such as builders, refrigeration contractors, service technicians, installers, and the technical departments of end users need to be properly educated. Increasing the level of proficiency will help to harvest the full potential of CO2 systems.

The CO2 solutions presented in the mobile training unit range from simple gas-bypass systems to more complex parallel compression solutions with or without heat reclaim. The training unit introduces Danfoss’ brand new ejector technology. Ejectors are recognised by industry experts as playing a key role in the evolution of transcritical CO2 refrigeration systems. They can boost system efficiency by up to 20% on the hottest days of the year, helping to broaden uptake of transcritical CO2 systems in warmer climates.
