This project was a conversion from HCFC-22. It involved a Topaire air-cooled split unit. Energy savings are reportedly 24% over the conventional, synthetic-based system.

The Dutch bank ABN Amro, uses a CO2 system to cool 15 high-performance servers at the data centre of its London branch. To provide a controlled climate for this hardware, the manufacturer, Star Refrigeration, designed and built a low-energy-consumption CO2 refrigeration system in 2006 to generate a total output of 300 kW. The carbon dioxide is recondensed with water at 6C via an indirect chilling cycle. The cooling is handled by ventilator units on the back of the server cabinets, where the carbon dioxide evaporates at 14C and absorbs the heat siphoned off by the fans. CO2 is reportedly well suited for IT climate control as it does not conduct electricity, helping to increase safety.
Trox Advanced IT Cooling Solutions (AITCS) produces and installs CO2 based data center cooling solutions.
As a heat absorption device, the system removes the PC heat at source, reducing background room cooling to a minimum. The use of ‘non-water’ liquid CO2 eliminates the potential hazards of mixing water and electronics. Per kilogram, CO2 has seven times the cooling capacity of water, so the volume flows with smaller diameter distribution pipework is reduced.

For capacities up to 3.650KW. Air conditioning , MT and LT with 1 to 4 open type screw compressor/1 to 5 open type reciprocating compressor
In 2012, The Co-operative UK opened its headquarters in Manchester, UK, complete with the largest propane chiller to be installed in a commercial building in the country. The Angel Square complex features eight 650 kW water-cooled water chillers using R290, and achieved the highest possible ˜outstanding” accreditation under the BREEAM rating for sustainable building.
Ansell Co., Ltd. in Thailand is recording enery savings of 19.4% as a result of its conversion from an HCFC-22-based cooling system to 2 hydrocarbon split-systems. The system reportedly has a payback period of 12 months.
APEX Circuit Co., Ltd., a circuit-board design and manufacturing company in Thailand, has reported energy savings of 13.2% as a result of its conversion from an HCFC-22-based system to 3 split-unit hydrocarbon-based systems manufactured by Trane.
