In this paper, the heat transfer coefficient and pump consumption power of indirect refrigeration system using $CO_2$ as a secondary refrigerant were investigated experimentally. First, from the comparison of pump consumption powers of existing brines(EG, PG, EA etc.) and $CO_2$ as secondary refrigerants at the same experimental conditions, PG and $CO_2$ show the highest and lowest power, respectively. Second, the heat transfer coefficient of $CaCl_2$ is the highest, but PG is the lowest among other secondary refrigerants. From the above results, it is confirmed that $CO_2$ as the secondary refrigerant has excellent characteristics when comparing to existing brines. Thus, it is concluded that $CO_2$ is applicable as the secondary refrigerant of indirect refrigeration system.
