CO2 refrigerant, also known as R744, is refrigerant-grade carbon dioxide supplied by Kirby through the Gas2Go range for refrigeration applications. R744 has zero ozone depletion potential and an ultra-low global warming potential.
CO2 refrigeration systems operate at high pressures and have a low critical temperature, so equipment and components must be suitable for R744 operation. R744 can also be used alongside other refrigerants in cascade refrigeration systems.
Kirby's current CO2 refrigerant range includes 13.5kg, 30kg liquid, 30kg vapour and 372kg Manpack products. Product codes include R744014, R744030, R744030V and R744372.
