♻️ Efficiency meets environmental responsibility: commissioning CERN’s primary CO₂ cooling circuit – Home | CERN
“CO₂’s high-pressure properties allow efficient heat transport over long distances, enabling compressors to be placed on the surface,” explains Bart Verlaat (EP-DT). “This eliminates the need for underground thermal insulation or intermediate cooling loops, simplifying the system, boosting efficiency and reducing energy consumption.”
