130 Series for CO2

Temprite engineers work with customers and specialists in the CO₂ field to develop innovative products that increase the efficiency and system life of leading-edge refrigeration technology. Let Temprite know what you need for your CO₂ system. We can produce liquid receivers and other high-pressure components for CO₂ applications to meet customer requirements.

Temprite’s 130 Series addresses the unique and challenging demands of CO₂systems. The 130 Series of coalescent oil separators are designed specifically for transcritical CO₂ systems and optimized for transcritical refrigeration applications.*

Performance Tested

The 130 Series are the first coalescing oil separators created for transcritical CO₂ to undergo performance testing at internationally recognized testing organizations, proven to perform the best of any filtration and separation technology. There are seven different sizes of oil separators spanning applications as small as laboratory systems up to the largest industrial applications.

Model 239A Designed for Industrial Size Refrigeration Systems

Temprite is pleased to announce the launch of its new Model 239A accessible coalescing oil separator for transcritical CO2 applications.

Building on the success of the existing 130 series products, the Model 239A can handle twice the refrigeration capacity of the model 139A, but it does not take up twice the space. It utilizes the same high efficiency coalescing filter technology that makes the Temprite 130 series oil separators so effective.

The capacity of the Model 239A is ideal for industrial-sized systems such as refrigerated warehouses, large ice rinks, or sporting venues.

Reservoirs

In addition to a range of five different sizes of separators, Temprite developed the RES7 and RES17 Reservoirs and the 48-2-1 and 48-2 Drier Shells specifically for transcritical CO₂ applications.

The RES7 and RES17 are 7- and 17-liter oil reservoirs, each with a service rating of 140 bar (2030 PSI).
The 48-1 and 48-2 drier shells have a service rating of 140 bar (2030 PSI).
The 48-2 can handle one or two size 48 D filter cores.

Model 138A: Increased Capacity in Same Space

The Model 138A has 1.5 the capacity of the 137A, but since it has the same diameter it doesn’t require additional floor space.

* Both the 920 & 920R Series can be used in subcritical applications up to 45 bar (650 PSI).

Model 139A Designed for Larger Commercial Refrigeration Systems

The new 139A separator brings maximum thermal efficiency to large CO₂ refrigeration systems. With twice the separation capacity of the Model 137A, large-rack refrigeration users may find that one 139A will replace two 137A oil separators.

Connection sizes: 1/2″ MPT to 2″ (MPT or Butt Weld), 5/8″ to 2-1/8″ (ODS)

Advantages

High Efficiency: most efficient oil-refrigerant filtering and separation technology with a 98.5%+ separation efficiency rating across the widest range of mass flows.

Energy-Saving: minimizes the amount of oil in the evaporator, improving heat transfer efficiency.

Cost-Saving: ensures shorter compressor run times.

CE Marked: complies with the European Pressure Equipment Directive; UL, ULC, CRN, CE, ASME and KHK approved.*
*Contact Temprite for individual product certification details.

Easy Filter Changing: removable top plate allows for easy filter changing after it captures excess dirt circulating in the system.*
*Model 131 is hermetic and the filter is not accessible for changing.

Individually Adjustable Mounting Feet: allow for variable field leveling and adjustment.

Internal Oil Level Monitoring: the integral oil reservoir and sensor port allows monitoring of the internal oil level and the controlled return of the cleaned oil to the compressor crank case for continued lubrication of the moving parts.

CO₂ Challenges

Temprite Innovation Meets the Challenge of CO₂(R744)

CO₂ is inexpensive and environmentally friendly but using CO₂ as a refrigerant presents several challenges.

Challenge: High-Pressure System

Most traditional refrigerants have a maximum pressure rating of around 31.0 to 34.5 bar (450 to 500 PSI), but in CO₂ subcritical applications, pressures could exceed 131 bar (1900 PSI).

Series 130 Beats High Pressure

Temprite’s 130 Series offers a range of products for transcritical applications up to 140 bar (2030 PSI).*
130 Series coalescent oil separators create an efficient, cost-effective reliable system that accommodates typical system operating pressures.

*The 920 & 920R Series of products are suitable for subcritical applications up to 44.8 bar (650 PSI).

Challenge: CO₂ is “Dirtier”

High-pressure systems such as CO₂ tend to have system-connecting lines made from pipe instead of tubing. Pipe is inherently dirtier than tube and requires welding versus the cleaner brazing process associated with tubing. This means more dirt in the system.

CO₂+ Series 130 = Clean & Green

Temprite’s Series 130 coalescing filtration and separation technology removes dirt from the system better than any other product.

Series 130 coalescent oil separators separate and clean oil at a nominal 98.5%+ efficiency level.
Series 130 separators can be used efficiently in larger systems.
High separation efficiency allows a smaller oil reservoir to be used.

Challenge: High-Density

CO₂ has a much higher density than traditional refrigerants, making it more difficult to separate the oil from the gas and requiring a better separation process.
