An overview With more and more OEMs offering small capacity solutions (see Euroshop trends article on page 64), there is a noticeable increase in transcritical CO2 in convenience store applications around the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; not just in Japan where it was traditionally the most popular. This chapter takes a closer look at the growing market for transcritical CO2 in convenience stores today. The aim is to show the potential of transcritical CO2 technology for smaller capacity systems as well (generally assumed <400m2 [4306ft2] in this report). It includes data from the global survey, as well as end user testimonials from around the world, sharing experiences and highlighting their reasons for using transcritical CO2 in their convenience store. At the end of the chapter, various partner case studies show the application of transcritical CO2 systems in real life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; including an example for a small store. (More partner case studies to follow in later chapters.)
