International. Aimed at large supermarkets, cold storage and industrial applications, Advansor announced its new CO2 solution, called CuBig II.
The CuBig II combines cooling, freezing, heating and air conditioning in a compact unit, which saves space and energy and avoids the use of fossil fuel boilers, a major advantage with gas prices that are currently skyrocketing.
The new CuBig II incorporates as standard equipment numerous energy-saving technologies, such as permanent magnet motors in all compressors, and frequency converters in the MT1 and LT1 compressors. It also offers the option of heat recovery, using excess heat from cooling processes for space heating or hot water production, allowing customers to save even more on their excessive energy bills.
Kristian Breitenbauch, CEO of Advansor, commented: "We have invested heavily in the design and development of the most energy-efficient options and, with advanced energy-saving technologies such as Ultra-Low Superheat, COP Hunter, and, Liquid Power Cooler, we want to achieve energy savings of up to 60%."
Smaller, higher-capacity plants
The company explained that the CuBig II design is easy to install in existing facilities. It is only 800 m wide, which means it is narrow enough to pass through normal doors and can be installed outside if necessary.
"The new CuBig II combines the versatility of smaller plants with the strength and capacity of our larger plants, such as SteelX," explains Kenneth Bank Madsen, Technical Director of Advansor. "This means you get 450 kW of cooling capacity and 600 kW of heating in a small frame based on flexible copper tubes."
Madsen added that "in addition, the compressors have free seats and everything is placed inside the structure, which allows the design of high-capacity plants up to 2.8 m long."
The maximum capacity of the vessel is now 648 l and 450 l for a single vessel.
"The CuBig II has been designed with attention to quality in every detail," Madsen stresses. "Optimized design with fewer connections, fewer threads and fully welded structure with improved strength and vibration handling."
The improved design has also been simplified, which means shorter delivery times, less than eight weeks in most cases, and the cost-life ratio remains competitive.
