GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This manual is written as a basic guideline for the installation and operation of low and medium-temperature display cases using pumped liquid Carbon Dioxide (CO2) as a secondary refrigerant. The primary refrigerant (for example, R404A) can vary depending on the customer’s requirements. For detailed information regarding a specific component or application, contact your Hussmann representative.
This manual is provided in addition to the standard Installation and Operation manual supplied with the display case. To cover specific instructions and safety precautions that apply to pumped liquid CO2, please refer to the installation instructions provided with the CO2 pumping station for details related to the pumping station and primary system and to the display case installation and service manual for more details regarding installation and operation.
For optimum safety and performance, it is recommended that only Hussmann
pumping stations be used as these have been tested and certified for use with
pumped liquid CO2 for Hussmann display cases.
All components must be installed according to manufacturer’s specifications.
All materials used must be compatible with the secondary coolant. Installation must comply with ANSI/ASME B31.5 Refrigeration Piping and Heat Transfer Components, ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 15 Safety Standard for Refrigeration Systems, and local building codes.
Inspect all components prior to installationto ensure that they are free from defects or foreign materials and to confirm that they comply with all pressure and temperature ratings.
PIPING GUIDELINES
Piping Materials
Any piping material that meets all pressure and temperature ratings, material
compatibility requirements, and state and local building codes
may be used for pumped liquid CO2 applications. The design pressure of the
system is 600psi. These materials include:
- Copper
- Type K or L may be used with outside diameter no larger than 7/8-inch.
- Braze joints with alloy containing a minimum of 15% silver. Clean joints thoroughly before brazing and have dry nitrogen flowing through tubing during brazing so long as the braze/solder material contains no zinc or zinc chloride.
- Flux materials must contain no zinc and must also be water soluble. All field piping must be purged with nitrogen while brazing.
- Steel
- Schedule 40 carbon steel pipe or stainless steel pipe (or tubing) is acceptable.
- Must protect exterior from corrosion.
- Additional system cleaning is required. Use roll-stop couplings for straight line pipe joints. Swaging of pipe joints is not recommended. Swaging weakens the copper at the swage point, reducing the maximum operating pressure rating.
WARNING:
Under no circumstances add or leave Schrader valves in the system.
Insulation
Insulation should be used in secondary system piping to reduce the heat
transfer to ambient air
and to maintain subcooling in the CO2 liquid supply line to the case. The
insulation should be sized to allow for the worst case conditions of heating
from showroom lighting and ambient temperatures. In order to minimize the
required insulation thickness, install pipe in air conditioned space as much
as possible. Do not size insulation for condensation prevention only. Pipe
should be insulated according to local codes and customer specifications and
manufacturer specifications.
When installing piping that has not been
preinsulated, there are several options for insulation. Closed-cell
elastomeric insulation is very popular in refrigeration applications. This
type of insulation can also be used in secondary system applications.
The manufacturer’s internal case piping valves and components are insulated to prevent frost from building. Sufficient insulation is required on piping into the display case to eliminate frost on tubes and to minimize temperature rise of CO2.
Check Valves
Check Valves are required wherever there is a possibility of trapping liquid
CO2 between valves that may be shut off, including solenoid valves, service
valves, and balancing valves. Check valves must be installed to vent high
pressure CO2 back to the system. Hussmann recommends reverse return tubing
instead of the use of shutoff valves for balancing purposes, but if shutoff
valves are used they must be relieved to the system through check valves.
WARNING:
Trapping of liquid CO2 can result in extremely high pressures and must be
avoided to prevent damage to equipment and personal injury.
Following is an example of a piping layout if hand valves are used in line
with solenoid valves.
Pumped Liquid CO2 Secondary Refrigeration Supplement
Supply and Return Loop Piping
Hussmann display cases are designed to minimize the pressure drop through the
case, with no more than 10 psi pressure drop through the typical display case.
Refer to CO2 application data for pressure drop for specific case models.
Field installed piping and store layout must be designed so that the total
pressure drop in the liquid supply line and wet return line does not exceed
15psi through the entire circuit.
Application data for display cases can be found at
Hussmann.com
Note:
Care must be taken to ensure that defrost of all case lineups is staggered
sufficiently so that no more than 25% of loops are in defrost at any time. See
the pumping station instructions for more details.
Valves
Solenoid, check and ball valves are to be installed upstream of the case/unit
cooler heat exchangers.
FIELD ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Case Inlet Solenoid Valve
The 120V case inlet Solenoid valve is normally closed, and must receive a
signal from the rack controller to provide temperature control. The solenoid
valve must shut off (de-energize) during defrost and when case discharges air
temperature is satisfied. Settings are provided on the CO2 application data
sheets for each specific case model.
Differential of the controller must be set to 2°F or less to avoid large fluctuations in discharge air temperature. A swing of as much as 5°F total (+/- 2.5°F) will not affect product temperatures. Liquid line solenoid lead wires are terminated in the raceway and marked with an identification tag.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY DEVICES AND PRECAUTIONS
Hussmann-pumped liquid CO2 cases are rated for a maximum design pressure of 600 psig. Pressure relief valves are shipped with the pump-ing station, and must be field installed according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Pressure relief valves are not provided with Hus- smann’s pumped liquid CO2 display cases. For optimum safety and performance, it is recommended that only Hussmann pumping stations be used.
If the refrigeration system is de-energized, venting of the CO2 (R744) through the pressure regulating relief valves on the refrigeration system can occur. In such cases, the system may need to be recharged with CO2 (R744), but in any case, the pressure regulating relief valves(s) are not to be defeated or capped. The relief setting shall not be altered.
CO2 Leak Detector: Leak detectors are required anywhere that CO2 gas may leak or be vented. Leak detectors provide an alarm if CO2 is detected at an amount that exceeds the maximum allowable CO2 concentration. Leak detectors are not provided with the case. Consult local codes for exact requirements.
WARNING:
A sufficient number of pressure relief and pressure regulating relief
valves may need to be provided based on the system capacity and located such
that no part of the system can be isolated without pressure relief capability.
Startup and Shut Down: Provisions must be made for startup and shutdown
to prevent excessive pressures. Consult the pumping station instructions and
local codes for requirements.
It is imperitive that the case piping is clean and dry prior to charging the
system with CO2. Use AC&R copper.
CO2 QUALITY
- Use high grade CO2 only (moisture<15ppm)
- Moisture in CO2 systems will create heavy corrosion inside steel piping caused by carbonic acid production.
OTHER INFORMATION
- Cases are designed for 100% liquid CO2 at the inlet and for 50% quality at the outlet.
- Operation at other conditions may adversely affect performance.
SAFETY MUSTs
- Use personal protection equipment (PPE) –gloves, safety glasses, long sleeves, etc.– and be aware of potential freezer burns from liquid CO2.
- Pressure Transducers / Leak Detectors / Warn-ing Lights / Sounders / and Plant Room Ventilation must all be operational prior to charging with CO2
- Pressure Relief Devices or check valves
must be located anywhere that liquid CO2 can be trapped. Trapped CO2 at –40°C will double in volume if allowed to rise to 30°C.

CO2 LIQUID RECIRCULATION SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
This section describes the general operation of the CO2 Liquid Recirculation secondary systems. These CO2 systems are designed to be used in conjunction with a centralized parallel compressor rack system. The CO2 Liquid recirculation system regulates case temperatures by circulating carbon dioxide through a case evaporator as it absorbs heat. The returning carbon dioxide is cooled to a liquid by the primary refrigerant supplied from the rack. The carbon dioxide is then pumped back through the case evaporator.
When the secondary system control circuit is powered up (120 volts) the chiller controller is powered. This controller regulates superheat on the primary side and must be programmed before starting the refrigeration system Turn on the main on/off switch to energize the pump. One pump will be “ON” and one pump will be “OFF” as a backup pump. The pump that is “ON” will now run continuously. The CO2 re-ceiver pressure and temperature is controlled by stepping the primary rack compressor capacity.
The rack stages compressors on and off based on the input from CO2 receiver
pressure transducer. The EEV controller will regulate the superheat on the
primary refrigerant side. Defrost is initiated when the rack controller sends
a signal to de-energize a case solenoid valve. The solenoid valve closes, and
after a specified time delay, electric heat is switched on. Once the defrost
period has elapsed, the electric heat is switched off, and after a 2nd time
delay, the sole- noid valve is energized. The CO2 refrigerant then resumes
flow through the case.
CO2 TEMPERATURE CONTROL
The CO2 temperature is controlled by using the CO2 receiver pressure as the
reference point for the primary side compressor capacity.
Read CO2 receiver pressure control
CO2 Receiver pressure:
IF
-
1. CO2 receiver pressure rises 2 psi (make adjustable) above the saturation pressure for the
selected CO2 setpoint temperature
THEN -
1. E2 rack controller increases the primary side compressor capacity until the set point tempera-
ture CO2 saturation pressure is reached.
IF -
2. CO2 receiver pressure falls 2 psi (make adjustable) below the saturation pressure for the
selected CO2 setpoint temperature
THEN -
2. E2 rack controller decreases the primary side compressor capacity until the set point tempera-
ture CO2 saturation pressure is reached.
SHUT DOWN MODES
Low Pump Differential Pressure (psi)
The E2 rack controller monitors the discharge
and suction pressure across the CO2 pump that is “ON” and calculates the
differential pressure using a flex combiner.
There will be dual pumps in parallel. One pump will be “ON” running
continuously and one pump will be “OFF” as a backup. There is a switch on the
control panel to switch between Pump 1 or Pump 2. The 2 pumps will have
different sets of discharge and suction pressure transducers.
IF
-
1. The Differential Pressure (psi) across the Pump is greater than 5psi or less than 60psi (make ad-justable)
THEN -
1. E2 Rack controller sends output to turn the pump ON.
IF -
2. The Differential Pressure (psi) across the Pump drops below 5 psi (make adjustable) for a period of 10 seconds (make adjustable)
OR
IF – The Differential Pressure (psi) across the Pump rises above 60 psi (make adjustable) for a period of 10 seconds (make adjustable).
THEN -
2. E2 Rack controller sends output to turn the pump OFF. E2 Rack Controller sends Alarm to identify “LOW PUMP DIFFERENTIAL PRES-SURE SHUT DOWN.” After a 2 min time delay (make adjustable), E2 Rack
controller sends output to turn the pump ON.
MULTIPLE RESTART AND LOCKOUT PROCEDURE
If 2nd shutdown is within 15 minutes, re-start after time delay of 2 minutes.
If 3rd shutdown is within 15 minutes, re-start after time delay of 2 minutes.
If 4th shutdown within 15 minutes, lockout and require an inspection by
service technician (LOWER) LIQUID LEVEL SENSOR
IF
-
1. The Receiver Liquid Level drops below Lower Liquid Level Sensor for a period of 2 seconds
(make adjustable)
THEN -
1. E2 Rack controller sends output to turn the pump OFF. The rack controller sends an Alarm to identify “LOW RECEIVER
LIQUID LEVEL SHUT DOWN.” After a 2 min time delay (make adjustable), E2 Rack controller sends output to turn the pump ON.
ALARM MODES
(Upper) Liquid Level Sensor
IF -
1. The CO2 receiver pressure exceeds 25 psi
above the E2 controller suction setpoint for 30 seconds.

GLOSSARY OF REFRIGERATION TERMS
Refrigerant
A fluid used to freeze or chill (a food) for preservation.
Primary Refrigerant
A fluid such as R404A used in a vapor compression system to cool a secondary
coolant.
Secondary Coolant (Refrigerant)
A fluid such as Carbon Dioxide (CO2) R744 used to remove heat from cases and
unit coolers and transfer the heat to the primary refrigerant through a heat
exchanger. Secondary coolants used with these systems are for Low and Medium
Temperature applications. Typically, the Low Temperature secondary coolant
supply temperature is -20°F and the medium-temperature secondary coolant
supply temperature is 20°F.
Pump
This is a device that circulates the secondary coolant throughout the system.
Pressure Relief Valve
There are two different types of Pressure regulating relief valve (PRV) and
pressure relief valve (pop-off valve)This device is to control or limit the
pressure in the system which can build up due to power outage, instrument or
equipment failure, or fire. The pressure is relieved by allowing the
pressurized fluid to flow from an auxiliary passage. The relief valve is set
to open at a predetermined pressure to protect pressure vessels and other
equipment from being subjected to pressures which exceed their design limits.
Cascade Heat Exchanger
This is a device built for efficient heat transfer between the primary
refrigerant and secondary refrigerant. Heat exchangers may be classified
according to their flow arrangements such as parallel flow, counter flow, or
counter current design. For efficiency heat exchangers are designed to
maximize the surface area of the wall between the two fluids while minimizing
the resistance to fluid flow through the exchanger.
Liquid \ Suction Heat Exchanger
This is a device built for efficient heat transfer between the liquid line and
suction line of the primary refrigerant. This device also subcools the liquid
refrigerant and aids in the complete evaporation of the suction gas.
Liquid \ Vapor Separator
This is a vessel designed to separate the vapor and liquid phases of the
secondary refrigerant. Gravity causes the liquid to settle to the bottom of
the vessel where it is withdrawn to enter the inlet of the pump.
Electronic Expansion Valve
This is a device built to control the amount of super-heat at the outlet of
the primary side evaporator. In this system, the Cascade Heat Exchanger is the
evaporator for the primary refrigerant.
Liquid Filter Drier
This is a device designed to filter impurities and ad-sorb moisture from the
refrigerant and lubricant in the liquid line.
