Summary

This article is the Spanish translation of an article presented at the IIR conference in Ohrid, Macedonia (see the Bulletin of the IIR, reference 2007-2179). One of the sectors contributing to the energy demand side is the refrigeration. The nowadays refrigerating systems often utilize synthetic refrigerants significantly contributing to climate change. In contrast, ammonia re-emerges as an extremely suitable refrigerant for medium and large refrigerating systems, due to its excellent thermodynamic and physical properties. In this paper, the authors propose project activities which could be undertaken in the frames of the flexible Kyoto Protocol Clean Development Mechanism project activity defined as "Ammonia cold stores renewal towards higher energy efficiency". In line with this, the authors elaborate two origins, improved energy efficiency and replacement of F-gas based cold rooms with an ammonia cold store, and give rough estimates for possible greenhouse gases emission reduction resulting from the measures encompassed in the proposed project activity. The calculations point out that such project activity could fall under the classification of a small-scale CDM project in compliance with the Kyoto Protocol. Further significance of such project is its agreement with the Montreal Protocol as well.
