For several years now, TEKO have been intensively involved in research & development with the investigation of the oil management of CO2 refrigeration systems and their components. They have conducted many tests and taken steps to improve the running behaviour of its plants – for example, reducing the oil throw of the compressors into the refrigeration circuit. From the collected findings and implemented measures the TEKO Gold Cartridge has been developed.
With the TEKO Gold Cartridge, the TEKO engineers have found a way to positively influence the oil management – and thus also the interaction of the components – in a CO2 refrigeration system. The complex design leads to a long working life of the cartridge. The TEKO Gold Cartridge has been designed for extreme loads, for example due to contamination. In addition, the degree of separation is improved, even in the always changing conditions required of a CO2 refrigeration system. By creating a two-layer oil cartridge, the separated oil is drained into a specific area of the cartridge, this increases the separation efficiency to the highest level, even under strenuous working conditions.
