Another productive site visit to a major food distribution client completed – surveying an existing HFC refrigeration plant ahead of its transition to a CO₂ transcritical system. The visit focused on understanding real site constraints before design begins:
- Existing pipe routes, risers and penetrations
- Condenser / gas cooler location & structural suitability
- Plant room layout and service access
- Potential installation & commissioning challenges
- Opportunities to improve efficiency, safety and maintainability
Replacement projects are always more than just replacing refrigerant. They require careful engineering to integrate modern, low-GWP technology into infrastructure that was never originally designed for it.
