Isn’t R744 equipment much more expensive? The pressures are higher?

They’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.
