Ammonia Refrigeration Solutions

Ammonia is a cost-effective and widely available refrigerant that is popular in many industrial applications such as food processing, cold storage, and ice rinks, due to its high latent heat of vaporization and low boiling point. While ammonia has no ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential rating of zero, it can be toxic and flammable, which poses a safety risk if not handled properly. Despite these concerns, ammonia is still commonly used in large-scale refrigeration and air conditioning systems. Trained professionals typically handle ammonia in a closed system to minimize the risk of leaks or exposure.
