minus-squareJakor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoThey’re expensive mostly market availability of components is still lacking, but it improves by the day. Much higher pressures - relief valves up to 1740psi on transcritical systems. It sounds scary, but working on a CO2 system is SO much easier imo.
