Simplicity For Industrial Applications

Shaping the Future of Industrial Refrigeration

Industrial CO₂ Compression Starts Now

The Vilter transcritical CO2 single-screw compressor is purpose-built for industrial refrigeration. Individual and multiple compressor configurations can be leveraged to address a wide breadth of tonnage and temperature requirements.

One transcritical CO2 single-screw compressor can be applied in single-stage, higher-temperature applications, or in a CO2 two-stage configuration, which also utilizes the subcritical CO2 single-screw compressor for low-side loads.

Vilter offers solutions in single- and double-compressor configurations. A double-compressor configuration increases unit capacity while sharing common oil management and control systems to reduce costs and application footprint.

Innovating the Next Generation of CO₂ Industrial Refrigeration

The technologies used in industrial refrigeration are changing. For safety and sustainability reasons, operators are transitioning from ammonia and hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants to refrigeration equipment rated for eco-friendly CO2 technologies. But current industrial CO2 solutions simply aren’t well-matched for the rigors of industrial applications...until now.

 

As a technology innovator in industrial refrigeration, Vilter is introducing one of the first generations of industrial CO2 compression solutions, purpose-built to deliver reliability, simplicity and longer system life — while leveraging a proven sustainable refrigerant.

Advantages of the Vilter CO₂ System

Simplifying Industrial Refrigeration
  • CO2 provides a solution to dynamic and uncertain regulations
  • Integrates compressors, controls and oil management components to streamline system design
  • Delivers high tonnage capacities with fewer industrial compressors
  • Operates with fewer system parts — such as pipes, elbows and valves — which reduces potential failure and leak points while making system troubleshooting easier
  • Removes the need for superheat which reduces system complexities and increases efficiencies
  • Utilizes industrial-grade welded pipe versus brazed copper to reduce leak potential
  • Avoids ammonia safety concerns and complexities associated with potential leaks
Enhance Reliability
  • Reduces maintenance costs and prolongs equipment lifespan
  • Improves uptime with fewer production shutdowns and delays
  • Delivers lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
Purpose-Built for Industrial Rigors
  • Supports high tonnage capacities
  • Engineered with industrial-grade technology and componentry
  • Withstands high transcritical CO2 pressures
  • Meets load demands without requiring superheat
Meet Sustainability Goals
  • Uses natural refrigerant CO2 with a GWP of 1 to help reach your sustainability goals
  • Offers high heat reclamation potential (i.e., water heating, etc.)
  • Reduces system footprint, requiring less installation space and saving facility resources
  • Includes access to Vilter Lifecycle Services support and CO2 expertise to help your company solve application challenges
