This conversation is all about heat reclaim strategies with Andre Patenaude, Director of Solution Strategy at Copeland, and Trevor Jones, Mechanical Engineer at Henderson Engineers Inc., Andre and Trevor break down data and research around various aspects of heat reclaim for retail spaces, particularly as it pertains to CO2 refrigeration, decarbonization and environmental impact. We cover the efficiency benefits of CO2 systems, the importance of tailored solutions for different locations, and important tips for refrigeration technicians to help effectively understand and maximize heat reclaim.

In this episode, we discuss:

-Importance of heat reclaim in CO2 systems

-Energy efficiency and CO2 systems

-Space heating systems

-Understanding heat reclaim in supermarkets

-Efficiency in modern buildings

-Heat reclaim systems: supermarket vs. hypermarket

-Energy use and heat reclaim efficiency

-CO2 vs. R448: heat reclaim comparison

-The importance of high-quality heat

-Refrigerant leak rates
