Maintaining optimal CO2 levels is crucial for preserving the quality of your potatoes. Daily CO2 refreshment with outside air is indispensable, as excessive concentrations can lead to suffocation and adversely affect frying color. However, conventional methods of CO2 refreshment, such as keeping the inlet open with system fans running, often pose efficiency challenges. This forces a compromise between product quality and energy efficiency—a frustrating dilemma.

Fortunately, a CO2 extraction system provides an effective solution. Leveraging the principle that CO2 is heavier than air and tends to accumulate near the floor, this system features a network of piping and a small extraction fan. This fan removes air with high CO2 concentrations from the bottom of your store, requiring only minimal amounts of outside air to replenish the extracted air. The adoption of a CO2 extraction system offers several significant benefits:

1. Enhanced Energy Efficiency: Utilizes a small fan instead of system fans, reducing energy consumption for CO2 refreshment.

2. Decoupled CO2 Refreshment: Prevents CO2 refreshment from impacting temperature and humidity levels within the store.

3. Reduced Dehydration: Decreased running hours for system fans result in less dehydration, ultimately translating to reduced product weight loss.
