Canadian-based EVAPCO LMP is seeing a ‘big trend’ in the use of CO2 (R774) refrigeration in industrial applications across North America (NA), according to Frédéric Houle, Sales Director at EVAPCO LMP.
The OEM, headquartered in Laval, Quebec, manufactures CO2 refrigeration systems for commercial and industrial applications with capacities ranging from 30–225TR. The company also offers CO2 refrigeration units with capacities from 15–150TR for CO2-based ice rinks.
“The industrial demand keeps pushing us to build bigger CO2 systems, with a 1,200HP combined compressor rack currently on our build floor for a warehouse project,” Houle told Marc Chasserot, ATMOsphere’s CEO and Founder, during a recent factory tour. ATMOsphere is the publisher of NaturalRefrigerants.com.
According to Houle, the company has more than 430 transcritical CO2 systems installed and operating across North America and has even installed a system in Costa Rica.
EVAPCO LMP is a wholly-owned subsidiary of EVAPCO based in Laval, Quebec. EVAPCO LMP was formed following the strategic acquisition of Systèmes LMP. EVAPCO is now uniquely qualified to be “The Natural Leader” of environmentally friendly, natural refrigeration-based products and systems. EVAPCO LMP, whose core business is the design and manufacture of transcritical CO2 systems, allows EVAPCO to expand its full spectrum of natural refrigerant-based solutions and expand its low-charge, packaged refrigeration offerings to include not only ammonia-based Evapcold products but also CO2-based EVAPCO LMP products.
