Technologies & Concepts
With intelligent technologies, TEKO optimises the efficiency and stability of refrigeration systems – from separation through to pipe routing.
TEKO Technologies & Concepts

With developments such as EVALIFT, TECO₂nditioner, TECO₂mulator, TEKO Gold Cartridge and SMS Block, TEKO sets new standards in CO₂ system technology. Intelligent system integration and well-designed component solutions help improve energy efficiency, operational reliability and system lifetime, while reducing leakage risk and enabling precise control quality.

The goal: efficient, stable and future-proof system operation – even under the most demanding operating conditions.

EVALIFT
Increasing efficiency in the refrigeration system

EVALIFT is TEKO’s solution for efficiently raising the evaporation level in CO₂ refrigeration systems. By using partially flooded evaporators and shifting superheat out of the evaporator, EVALIFT enables higher evaporation temperatures, improves system efficiency and increases operational reliability – for both medium- and low-temperature refrigeration.

Profile & Benefits

  • Increased efficiency in the refrigeration system
  • Suitable for medium- and low-temperature refrigeration
  • Simple solution – existing user know-how can be applied
  • TEKO patent since April 2019
  • Short payback period of less than 2 years
  • Additional benefits: higher system stability, increased operational reliability and longer refrigeration system lifetime

Functions

  • Partially flooded evaporators for higher evaporation temperatures
  • Suitable for all climate zones: subcritical and transcritical operation, winter and summer, day and night
  • Additional efficiency gains in the low-temperature suction line
  • No additional measures required in the oil system

Components

  • TECO₂nditioner for optimum suction gas conditioning in combination with EVALIFT
  • Combined with an intelligent control system
TECO₂nditioner
Improving system stability

The TECO₂nditioner optimally conditions the suction gas of CO₂ booster systems at the inlet of the medium-temperature compressor. This reduces temperature fluctuations, improves system stability and extends compressor lifetime – without any additional control effort.

Profile & Benefits

  • Improved system stability
  • Increased operational reliability
  • Longer lifetime for medium-temperature reciprocating compressors
  • Also replaces the air-cooled desuperheater for low-temperature discharge gas

Functions

  • Optimally conditioned suction gas at the inlet of the medium-temperature compressor
  • No additional control effort required

Components

  • Specially developed heat exchanger
  • Combined with an intelligent control system

TECO₂mulator
Active oil management
The TECO₂mulator is TEKO’s active oil management solution for CO₂ refrigeration systems. It ensures a stable oil balance and supports safe, reliable system operation – especially in transcritical and subcritical applications.
 

Profile & Benefits

  • Oil-free suction line
  • Reduced CO₂ content in the oil
  • Increased compressor lifetime

Functions

  • Buffers sudden oil return surges
  • Retains liquid particles
  • Passive oil temperature control
TEKO Gold Cartridge
Improved separation efficiency

The TEKO Gold Cartridge has a positive effect on oil management in CO₂ refrigeration systems and optimises the interaction between system components.

  • Advanced design
  • Long service life – even under extreme loads and contamination
  • Consistently improved separation efficiency – even under the changing operating conditions of CO₂ refrigeration systems

What makes it special: the TEKO Gold Cartridge features separate coalescence and drainage layers. This ensures that oil separation and the removal of separated oil take place in different areas of the cartridge.

The result: consistently high separation efficiency, even under extreme operating conditions.

Profile & Benefits

  • Low oil carryover into the system
  • Increased dirt absorption and longer cartridge lifetime

Functions

  • High separation efficiency, even under challenging conditions
  • Increased system stability

SMS Block
Clean pipe routing & leak-tight systems
Our piping systems are designed with a minimum number of connection points. Bent and flared copper pipes reduce brazed joints, while hose connections are consistently avoided. The TEKO SMS Block combines the functions of several components in a single unit.
 

Profile & Benefits

  • Easy access and service-friendly design
  • Increased durability thanks to an integrated filter element

Functions

  • Three functions in one component
  • Fewer connection points

In development, we always ask ourselves: what truly supports system operation? Our solutions are not created at the desk, but from a deep understanding of real-world practice.
