CO2 Refrigeration Systems: A Better Choice for Your Business

If you’re managing a busy commercial kitchen, a supermarket, or even an industrial cold storage facility, you know how vital a reliable refrigeration system is to your business. A properly serviced system doesn’t just keep things cool—it ensures energy efficiency, reduces the risk of breakdowns, and helps your business meet sustainability goals.

At MGI Ltd, we’re proud to lead the way in modern refrigeration servicing. We specialise in keeping CO2 refrigeration systems running at peak performance for businesses across the UK. Whether you need regular maintenance, emergency repairs, or long-term support, we’re here to help.

What Makes CO2 Refrigeration Systems Different?

Let’s start with the basics: CO2 (carbon dioxide) is a natural refrigerant with an extremely low Global Warming Potential (GWP). Unlike traditional refrigerants, which can harm the environment, CO2 is eco-friendly, highly efficient, and perfectly suited for modern refrigeration systems.

But CO2 systems aren’t just better for the planet—they’re designed to perform. Keeping them properly serviced ensures consistent cooling, reduced energy costs, and longer equipment life.

Here are the main types of CO2 systems we service:

  • Transcritical CO2 Systems: Perfect for warmer climates, these systems operate above CO2’s critical temperature and pressure, using advanced gas coolers to manage heat effectively.
  • Subcritical CO2 Systems: A great option for colder climates, these systems keep CO2 operating below its critical point, ensuring maximum efficiency.
  • Cascade Systems: By combining CO2 with other refrigerants, these systems deliver superior cooling performance, even in industrial-scale operations.

Each system has its own maintenance needs, and we’re here to ensure yours stays in top condition.

Why Regular Servicing Matters

When it comes to refrigeration, servicing is everything. A poorly maintained system won’t perform as it should—leading to higher energy bills, inconsistent cooling, and costly downtime. That’s why scheduling regular maintenance is so important.
