Hillphoenix Launches ChargeSecure to Help Food Retailers Maintain CO2 Charge During Power Outages and Service Events

Hillphoenix, part of Dover Food Retail and Dover and a pioneer in designing environmentally sustainable refrigeration systems, announced the launch of ChargeSecure^™, a charge preservation solution for CO₂ refrigeration systems that offers peace of mind during power outages and service events.

Designed specifically for Hillphoenix CO₂ systems, ChargeSecure minimizes downtime and offers peace of mind during power outages and service events by maintaining charge. When the power comes back on, the system can restart immediately – helping stores get back up and running faster.

“With our decades of experience in natural refrigeration systems, we designed ChargeSecure to offer a layer of security for food retailers using our CO₂ systems, so they can get back to doing what they do best – serving their customers,” said Ousama Sabra, Systems Senior Product Manager at Hillphoenix.

A future-focused, environmentally friendly solution, ChargeSecure uses the existing CO₂ in the system to operate instead of relying on legacy refrigerants. This technology solidifies Hillphoenix’s reputation as the leader in natural refrigerants.

“As the adoption of CO₂ refrigeration systems continues to accelerate, ChargeSecure addresses the growing need for a charge preservation solution with a low GWP impact,” Sabra said.

ChargeSecure automatically kicks in when it detects a power outage and/or pressure increase beyond a predefined threshold. It maintains the CO₂ pressure in the flash tank by compressing it into the gas cooler and then expanding it back into the flash tank.

Benefits of ChargeSecure include:

• Cost Savings: Retailers can avoid the time and expense of recharging CO₂, while also helping to protect perishable goods from loss.
• Low Power Consumption: Requiring only 1.5 amps to operate, it uses 6 times less energy than conventional charge preservation units.
• Flexible Installation: It can be mounted on the wall or floor – anywhere within 15 feet of the rack – indoors or outdoors.
• Small Footprint: With no heat exchanger required, its compact footprint measures 12.75 inches by 18.8 inches.
• Extended Operation: Backup battery provides prolonged periods of continuous operation.

For retrofits, ChargeSecure features easy plug-and-play integration into existing Hillphoenix CO₂ racks. Hillphoenix will be offering factory-installed ChargeSecure units in new racks.
