Hillphoenix, a subsidiary of Dover Corporation, introduced the AdvansorUltra, its first standardized industrial CO₂ rack, on January 8, 2026. The platform is engineered to streamline the design, manufacturing, and deployment of transcritical CO₂ refrigeration systems for cold storage, food processing, and pharmaceutical applications, offering capacities up to 450 TR (1,583 kW) and operating temperatures from –25 °F to 20 °F, with specialized modes down to –57 °F.
The launch marks a decisive shift from Hillphoenix’s traditional engineered‑to‑order approach to a scalable, modular platform model. By standardizing key components and processes, the company aims to reduce lead times, improve quality control, and achieve greater manufacturing efficiency. This change aligns with Dover’s broader Climate & Sustainability Technologies strategy, which seeks to capture higher‑margin, secular growth opportunities in natural refrigerant markets.
Market analysts project the global transcritical CO₂ systems market to grow from $35.8 billion in 2024 to $87.0 billion by 2030, a CAGR of 16.3%. The AdvansorUltra positions Hillphoenix to capture a larger share of this expanding segment, challenging the long‑standing dominance of ammonia in industrial refrigeration. The product’s standardized design also lowers the barrier to entry for customers, potentially accelerating adoption of CO₂ systems in energy‑constrained and regulatory‑driven environments.
Hillphoenix upgraded its training facility in Conyers, Georgia, to support technicians transitioning from traditional refrigerants to CO₂ technology. The investment underscores the company’s commitment to ensuring a skilled workforce and smooth deployment of the new platform, mitigating one of the key adoption barriers in the industry.
Management highlighted the strategic importance of the launch. Senior Product Manager Ousama Sabra noted that the platform “enables us to consistently control our quality and reduce our lead times to meet market demands while providing a customer‑focused solution.” This emphasis on standardization and efficiency signals Dover’s confidence that the new product will drive future revenue growth and margin expansion within its Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment.
While the article does not report immediate financial results, the launch is expected to contribute to Dover’s FY 2025 guidance, which raised full‑year revenue expectations to $7.7 billion from $7.5 billion and adjusted EPS guidance to $8.29 from $8.00. The company’s focus on high‑margin, low‑GWP solutions is reflected in the projected $60.76 million Adjusted EBITDA for the Climate & Sustainability Technologies segment, up from $58.03 million in the prior year.
The AdvansorUltra launch is a significant operational milestone that could reshape Hillphoenix’s product portfolio and strengthen Dover’s position in the growing natural refrigerant market. By reducing lead times and improving quality, the company aims to capture a larger share of the expanding transcritical CO₂ market, supporting long‑term revenue and margin growth.
