SEPTEMBER 2019
Coolcare and the knowledgeable
Metraclark engineering team worked very
closely together and proposed the idea of
going ‘green’ with natural refrigerants to
Pereira. Metraclark, along with CO 2 system
specialists from SCM Frigo Italy, explained
in detail how the CO 2 trans-critical booster
system offered works, along with all its many
advantages to the client, and he was sold
on the idea based on the facts presented.
“We didn’t reinvent the wheel,” said
Jooste. “We simply worked with one of
the best international CO 2 manufacturers,
SCM Frigo in Italy, who has produced
more than 4 000 CO 2 systems to date
into different countries around the world.
Going forward the SCM Italian and South
African teams will work closely together
to manufacture CO 2 equipment on the
same international standards locally in
South Africa.”
The contractor even went to Italy to
inspect the equipment themselves and to
see how it works before bringing it over.
The final equipment offered and
installed for the CO 2 system were as follows:
• Two outdoor multiple compressor
rack plant rooms each handling
half of the overall load to keep the
system balanced. The following are
specifications for each plant room:
