Bock will participate on the Gustav Lorentzen Conference in Sydney, Australia, from 12 -14 April 2010. At the conference Mr. Manuel Fröschle, product manager for CO₂ applications at Bock, will present latest developments in compressors and refrigeration systems using the refrigerant R744 (CO₂).

Bock is involved in the development of the refrigerant CO₂ (R744) since the early 1990’s. The fact that CO₂ does not have the potential for ozone depletion and therefore has little influence on the greenhouse-effect, made CO₂ an attractive alternative to conventional refrigerants in the last years. Especially when building refrigerating plants for supermarkets, plant operators often decide in favour of the application of CO₂. Bock has different series for the application of the refrigerant CO₂, both for transcritical use up to a pressure of 130 bar and subcritical cascade systems for pressures up to 40 bar.
