Danish manufacturer Advansor is working on the biggest CO2 industrial refrigeration system known in the world in a lettuce plant in the Netherlands.
The brand new lettuce processing plant, by the Staay Food Group, will use state of the art refrigeration technology and city-farming type structures to grow the lettuce indoors under special LED lights.
Mark Kristensen, Advansor’s Industrial Sales Manager, expects this to be “the biggest CO2 refrigeration project, known, in the World”, with a total capacity over 3,36 Megawatts (MW).
“Advansor is very proud to be partner in this project, which again proves that transcritical CO2 systems are not only for commercial use.”, Kristensen, told R744.com. Working with local contractors Huijbregts Koeltechniek BV, Kristensen added they are “looking forward to the commissioning and expecting full operation during January 2017”.
