Pushing R-744 Efficiency to the Limit: Low Superheat Control in Food Retail

CAREL's integrated R-744 ecosystem—new MPXPro case controller, pRack compressor rack controller and boss supervisor—enables food retail systems to run evaporators at very low superheat, raising evaporating temperature, reducing LMTD and cutting energy consumption.

Session description

Commercial refrigeration accounts for a significant share of a food retailer's energy bill, and the evaporating temperature is one of the most powerful levers for efficiency. Every degree of increase translates directly into higher compressor COP—yet many installations leave this potential untapped because maintaining stable, very low superheat at the evaporator outlet has historically been difficult with R-744 (CO2), given its steep pressure-enthalpy curve near saturation.
This presentation introduces CAREL's integrated control strategy for transcritical CO2 food retail systems, built on three complementary products: the new MPXPro case controller, the pRack rack controller and the boss supervisory platform. Together they form a coordinated ecosystem that makes precision super ...
