A SHORT OVERVIEW
CHAPTER 1: Ammonia as a Refrigerant
CHAPTER 2: What is ‘low-charge ammonia’?
CHAPTER 3: Applications of low-charge ammonia
This chapter provides a short introduction into ammonia as a refrigerant. It takes a look at the characteristics of this molecule, its behaviour as a refrigerant, its role and history in the refrigeration industry.
This chapter seeks to identify what is meant by ‘lowcharge ammonia’, using industry feedback and knowhow, and looks at issues of defining a technology that is relatively new in the industrial refrigeration sector. It also provides overview of key types of the technology.
This chapter delves into the applications for low-charge ammonia technology from its beginnings in traditional ammonia refrigeration, such as in cold storage, food processing and logistic facilities, to its forays into HVAC and the pharmaceutical industry.
