Danish Bakery, Easyfood Selects Carrier Commercial Refrigeration as Supplier of Transcritical CO₂ racks for New Production Line

Carrier Commercial Refrigeration (CCR) has been chosen to provide transcritical CO2 racks for a new production line that will produce sausage rolls. The equipment will include two PowerCO₂OL racks with a combined capacity of 1,100 kilowatts (kW) at various temperature levels. Both racks will be equipped with CCR’s patented ejector technology.

The two PowerCO₂OL racks will deliver -40°C cooling for a CO₂ DX spiral freezer, chilled glycol for process cooling of the machinery in the production line, cooling for three smaller medium-temperature and low-temperature cold rooms, as well as the cooling of ventilated air. The turnkey solution includes heat recovery, supplying two temperature levels for process and room heating.

“Easyfood chose the CO₂ solution from Carrier due to its low power consumption, easy service and installation and the smaller machine room needed compared to an ammonia system,” explained Klaus Jensen, Sales Manager for the Industrial Segment at Carrier Denmark. “The bakery values Carrier’s proven track record with CO₂ installations.”

The PowerCO₂OL system is the largest CO₂ rack offered by Carrier. The rack integrates CO₂OLtec^® Evo modulating vapor ejector technology to achieve high energy efficiency saving, providing up to 30% energy savings on an annual basis versus a standard transcritical CO₂ system.
