Industrial CO₂ Refrigeration — Sustainability Meets Purpose-Built Reliability
Global adoption of sustainable CO2 refrigeration is increasing rapidly. As a leader in industrial refrigeration, Vilter is developing one of the first purpose-built CO2 refrigeration solutions.
Unleash the Potential of CO₂ in Industrial Refrigeration
The Vilter transcritical and subcritical single-screw CO2 compressor platforms solve the industrial demands for more robust, reliable and simple CO2 alternatives. Based on high-pressure application experience in rugged, dirty and open-loop conditions in the renewable natural gas (RNG) industry, Vilter’s technological expertise is well-equipped to address today’s CO2 application requirements.
Expanding Capacity and Reliability with Vilter Co2 Compression
Rapid expansion leads a leading food supplier to upgrade its refrigeration infrastructure, ensuring that it could sustain increased production volumes while maintaining high reliability and energy efficiency.

Advantages of the Vilter CO₂ System
Simplifying Industrial Refrigeration
- CO2 provides a solution to dynamic and uncertain regulations
- Integrates compressors, controls and oil management components to streamline system design
- Delivers high tonnage capacities with fewer industrial compressors
- Operates with fewer system parts — such as pipes, elbows and valves — which reduces potential failure and leak points while making system troubleshooting easier
- Removes the need for superheat which reduces system complexities and increases efficiencies
- Utilizes industrial-grade welded pipe versus brazed copper to reduce leak potential
- Avoids ammonia safety concerns and complexities associated with potential leaks
Enhance Reliability
- Reduces maintenance costs and prolongs equipment lifespan
- Improves uptime with fewer production shutdowns and delays
- Delivers lower total cost of ownership (TCO)
Purpose-Built for Industrial Rigors
- Supports high tonnage capacities
- Engineered with industrial-grade technology and componentry
- Withstands high transcritical CO2 pressures
- Meets load demands without requiring superheat
Meet Sustainability Goals
- Uses natural refrigerant CO2 with a GWP of 1 to help reach your sustainability goals
- Offers high heat reclamation potential (i.e., water heating, etc.)
- Reduces system footprint, requiring less installation space and saving facility resources
- Includes access to Vilter Lifecycle Services support and CO2 expertise to help your company solve application challenges
Industrial CO₂ Compression Starts Now
The Vilter transcritical CO2 single-screw compressor is purpose-built for industrial refrigeration. Individual and multiple compressor configurations can be leveraged to address a wide breadth of tonnage and temperature requirements.
One transcritical CO2 single-screw compressor can be applied in single-stage, higher-temperature applications, or in a CO2 two-stage configuration, which also utilizes the subcritical CO2 single-screw compressor for low-side loads.
Vilter offers solutions in single- and double-compressor configurations. A double-compressor configuration increases unit capacity while sharing common oil management and control systems to reduce costs and application footprint.
Subcritical CO₂ Industrial Compressor
Part of Vilter’s industrial refrigeration CO2 solutions, purpose-built for subcritical applications to deliver reliability, simplicity, and longer system life. This model meets new sustainability goals with Vilter’s proven single-screw technology.
Transcritical CO₂ Industrial Compressor
Building on our legacy of innovations, Vilter has engineered one of the industry’s first transcritical CO2 screw compressor — purpose-built for heavy-duty industrial requirements and rated for CO2 transcritical pressures.
