µRack CO₂ extended features
A more complete range, in response to market needs
The µRack CO2 controller has seen a major software upgrade, so as to ensure wider coverage of the range and greater application versatility. In terms of features, this brings the controller significantly closer to what is currently offered by the pRack 300T, while still remaining an entry-level solution that is simple to configure and suitable for compact applications.
Main new features
Second suction line
One of the most significant innovations is the introduction of a second suction line, representing an important step forward in terms of system flexibility and customisation. This feature makes it possible to:
- Configure up to four compressors on two independent lines;
- Freely define the desired combination (for example, 4 compressors on a single line, or 2+2, 3+1, etc.);
- For each line, have a modulating device as the first compressor, thus improving cooling capacity control and optimising system efficiency.
Single-stage heat recovery
Another significant innovation is the addition of single-stage heat recovery. This feature - already available on the pRack 300T in advanced mode - has been simplified and adapted to suit the µRack profile, guaranteeing compatibility with small/medium-sized systems where heat recovery is a growing requirement.
Heat recovery in fact allows some of the thermal energy generated by the compression process to be reused, for example for domestic hot water or space heating, improving energy efficiency of the overall system and reducing overall consumption.
A more complete µRack, ready for new applications
With these new features, the µRack CO2 is now a more mature and versatile solution, capable of adapting to a greater number of applications and responding to needs that previously required the shift to a superior control platform (pRack 300T Small).
It is however still an entry-level solution, with a simple interface, fast configuration and excellent integration with existing systems, making it ideal for retrofits, compact systems or economical solutions, without needing to compromise on key features such as flexible compressor management and energy efficiency via heat recovery.
