CO₂ (R744) Refrigeration as a Chiller Alternative for Industrial HVAC
In conventional industrial HVAC systems, a freon-based chiller is the central cooling source — supplying chilled water to air handling units and fan coils throughout the facility. We design an alternative: a transcritical CO₂ (R744) refrigeration unit that takes the role of the chiller, eliminating synthetic refrigerants from the entire building and meeting the requirements of EU F-Gas Regulation 2024/573.
-
Single natural refrigerant CO₂ across the entire facility — no synthetic HFCs
-
Higher energy efficiency during peak summer cooling loads
-
Full compliance with EU F-Gas Regulation 2024/573 and green building standards
-
Scalable solution for industrial facilities from 1,000 m² and above
Connecting HVAC to an Existing CO₂ Refrigeration System
If your facility already operates a CO₂ (R744) refrigeration system — for cold storage, production chambers or process cooling — we can connect the building’s HVAC directly to it. The refrigeration unit then serves both process cooling and space conditioning simultaneously: surplus cooling capacity or heat recovered from the compressors is routed into the climate control system. No separate chiller required.

This is relevant for agro-processing enterprises, logistics centres, shopping and entertainment centres, and office buildings that require a unified climate control circuit for different zones.
-
Heat recovery is the reuse of thermal energy generated during the operation of a refrigeration or climate system. In standard units, this heat is simply discharged into the atmosphere through the condenser. In systems with heat recovery, it is transferred via a heat exchanger and used for space heating or hot water supply.
Real economic impact:
- Energy savings on heating and DHW — up to 30%
- Water heating up to +80…+90°C without additional energy sources
- Average system payback period — 1–3 years
- Reduction of the enterprise’s carbon footprint
Heat recovery is especially effective in CO₂ (R744) units — thanks to the transcritical cycle, the recovered heat temperature is significantly higher than in conventional refrigerant systems. More details on the operating principle and payback calculation are available on the dedicated heat recovery page.
