This week we had Michael Wieshaar from Cimco Refrigeration who was live at a CO2 transcritical ice rink. Michael walked us through the CO2 chiller plant step by step to give us a understanding on how this CO2 ice rink works. Michael has been involved with this system from the start and has developed his CO2 skill very quickly by putting the work in.
Topics:
Why it is important to read the equipment and component manuals you work on for a successful install
Why working with your customers to build their confidence is so important.
Retrofitting an R22 ice rink to a CO2 Transcritical ice rink
3 major components:
Primary Plant CO2 Chiller loop
Cold Glycol Loop
Warm Glycol Loop
Reviewing the sequence of operation of the CO2 rack system
Discuss how the oil management works on the Chiller Plant
How quickly they pulled the slab temp down with CO2
Over coming system issues through proper troubleshooting

Michael is a good man and amazing tech!
Just from chatting with him he sounds like an amazing tech and he is definitely going places in this industry.
Great
Thanks Mike
That is an impressive chiller based on the top technology from Bitzer, Danfoss and Carel.
Haven't seen any CO2 larms though.
With that load of CO2 there should be several CO2 larms placed evenly in the engine room.
Could you elaborate on CO2 larms?
@@RefrigerationMentor I don't know the local rules, but in Europe you need to have a CO2 sensing alarm in case there is a leakage or even a pipe burst releasing CO2 into the machine room. If the unit have a problem and sends out an alarm the first person shouldn't be at risk to be exposed to lethal levels of CO2.
If you have a certain level of CO2 filling in the system CO2 alarm better be mandatory.
Same thing with all A3 classified refrigerants. HC sensing alarms better be in place to give a warning that there might be an explosive environment in the machine room.
If I remember right a HC alarm in mandatory with 4,94 Kg of HC refrigerant filling.
The smalest CO2 units we sell have 4 Kg of CO2 and they need an alarm for CO2 too.
Very interesting. Thanks. I operate a seasonal rink in the Central Valley of California. Looking for options to replace a rented York 300 ton chiller.
Today there are many options and this is one of them.
Where does the heated water go? Is it single pass or cooling tower with makeup? Is the heated water used for heating or domestic hot water?
That is a great question. I will have to find out.
@@RefrigerationMentor Thanks. Making Ice is going to produce lots of waste heat.
Can you turn Co2 plants off. I heard you can't due to excessive pressure rise.
It totally depends on the unit design. Some you can and some you can for short periods of times. Always get training on the CO2 equipment you work on. Take some Refrigeration Mentor technical training programs and grow your knowledge at refrigerationmentor.com/upcoming-courses/
2,000lb of R22!! $$$$$
yes it is
Who is the brazed plate heat exchanger manufacturer used on this system?
That is a great question. I am not sure.
