Full Description

Ammonia is the refrigerant of choice for many industrial refrigeration systems. Custom-engineered ammonia (R-717) refrigeration systems often have design conditions that span a wide range of evaporating and condensing temperatures. Examples are (1) a food freezing plant operating from +50 to -50F (10 to -45C); (2) a candy storage requiring 60F (15C) db with precise humidity control; (3) a beef chill room at 28 to 30F (-2 to -1C) with high humidity; (4) a distribution warehouse requiring multiple temperatures for storing ice cream, frozen food, meat, and produce and for docks; and (5) a chemical process requiring multiple temperatures ranging from +60 to -60F (15 to -50C).
