Ammonia in small-capacity heat-pump and refrigeration systems.

Author(s) : PALM B.

Summary

As focus is directed towards natural refrigerants, due to the ODP and GWP of the halogenated hydrocarbons, it is of interest to investigate the possibilities and possible advantages, and perhaps disadvantages, of using ammonia also in small-capacity systems. This paper reports on the initial phase of an investigation concerning the possibilities of designing a small capacity (lower than 10 kW) heat-pump or refrigeration system using ammonia as the refrigerant. The investigation includes a market search for suitable components. The system is designed to mimic typical domestic heat pumps on the Swedish market. In the design, special attention is paid to minimization of the refrigerant charge and material compatibility.
