For a Dutch university hospital, Van Abeelen Koudetechniek realized a refrigeration system using CO₂ as a natural refrigerant. In a hospital environment, operational reliability is crucial. Cooling not only supports comfort, but also processes, storage, and spaces where stable temperature control is required.
The installation is built with multiple techniques, including a CO₂ pump system, direct expansion of CO₂ and a thermosyphon application.
Cooling technology for a critical building environment
A university hospital is requesting an installation that is reliable, efficient, and maintainable. The refrigeration technology must be suitable for a variety of usage areas while simultaneously being ready for future use with natural refrigerants.
| Project component | Execution |
|---|---|
| Customer | Dutch university hospital |
| Application | Refrigeration system for hospital environment |
| Refrigerant | CO₂ |
| System component | CO2 pump system for 11 air coolers |
| Additional | Direct expansion of CO₂ for 6 air coolers |
| Extra technique | Thermosyphon application |
| Division | Van Abeelen Refrigeration |
Natural refrigerants with technical certainty
CO₂ is a forward-looking choice for refrigeration systems in commercial and industrial applications. The refrigerant has a low GWP value and is suitable for systems where sustainability and reliability must go hand in hand.
For this project, Van Abeelen combined various refrigeration principles within a single installation. This creates a solution that meets the technical requirements of a hospital: stable, well-conceived, and service-oriented in design.
