Ammonia - the natural choice


Ammonia has a number of characteristics which make it the ideal refrigerant for future refrigeration purposes:
Ammonia is the only refrigerant with no negative impact on the environment No ozone depleting potential (ODP) No global warming potential (GWP) A well-known and acknowledged refrigerant which has been used safely in refrigeration for more than 100 years Ammonia has the best thermodynamic efficiency A natural refrigerant which easily breaks down into nitrogen If refrigerant leaks should occur they will be easy to detect, as the distinct smell of ammonia serves as a natural built-in alarm It is inexpensive and significantly cheaper than other refrigerants

Why choose ammonia?


What are the advantages?

Known technology and plant design Better energy efficiency (COP) Better heat transfer coefficient Available and low-priced all over the world Non-mixable with oil Less sensitive to humidity in the plant Smaller compressor - same capacity Smaller heat exchangers - same capacity Smaller circulated quantity

Sabroe ammonia 40 bar heat pump compressors

Ammonia is an ozone-friendly refrigerant Heat pump systems reduce the CO2 emission The series covers the entire water temperature range up to 70C. Compared with CFC, HCFC and HFC systems you will gain the following advantages: - higher efficiency (COP) - reduced compressor size - smaller evaporators - smaller condensers - smaller pipe and valve dimensions Capacity range: 100-1500 kW (one compressor) Multiple applications
