Refrigerant Detection

The objective of this project was to introduce CO₂ refrigeration to the BP estate, ensuring optimal value and benefit regarding environmental impact.

As a key supplier, Carter Synergy designed and implemented a fully integrated refrigeration solution, focusing on the following essential components:

• Provision of all refrigeration capacity
• Introduction of a secondary temperature zone for air conditioning
• Delivery of all building heating through heat recovery systems

The design was presented and received approval in late 2013, with the St Ives store selected for a trial. The installation was completed and became operational by July 2014.

Post-installation, a period of monitoring commenced, allowing for a direct comparison with a similarly formatted store in Cockfosters, and this has been ongoing to date. 

This document provides an overview of the initiative and outlines the findings from the monitoring process thus far.
