ARBS is Australia’s largest international exhibition for the RAC and building services industry with the 2016 edition attracting more decision-makers, contractors, specifiers and technicians to showcase the latest technologies, products and services than ever before. Bitzer and Beijer Ref (through its SCM Frigo subsidiary) have already transferred their global CO2 transcritical know-how to the Australian and New Zealand market. Now, Heatcraft Worldwide Refrigeration, through its Australian division, is entering the race. For the first time, Heatcraft displayed its luminous Kirby eCOBoost CO2 transcritical rack (100kW-300kW). Modified for Australian conditions after 11 transcritical installations in Europe and the US, Heatcraft has extensive market experience and is looking well beyond the commercial sector with its transcritical and CO2/ammonia cascade systems.
