Natural refrigerants are transforming supermarket refrigeration—but small-format stores face different challenges.
This presentation, to be held today at 11am, shares real-world results from transcritical CO₂ condensing units installed in Sydney retail sites, examining performance, energy use and emissions reductions in compact store environments.
Presenters include Tilek Aberra, the technology manager for Oceania at Hussmann Australia.
With more than two decades of experience in mechanical engineering across refrigeration R&D, HVAC, and process industries, Aberra leads the development of energy-efficient solutions for retail and supermarket refrigeration.
He is driven by a commitment to translating complex technical challenges into practical, real-world outcomes and advancing sustainable practices across the industry.
The second presenter is Goutham Natarajan, technical sales engineer at Hussmann Australia.
With a background in mechanical and aerospace engineering and over three years of experience in refrigeration and HVAC, he is actively involved in implementing natural refrigerant systems across Australia.
Passionate about advancing sustainable cooling technologies, Natarajan supports the industry’s transition toward natural refrigerants by combining technical expertise with practical, customer-focused solutions.
His work bridges innovation and application, driving efficiency and environmental responsibility in commercial refrigeration.
