AMMONIA PACKAGED UNITS: AN ALTERNATIVE TO CFCS.

Author(s) : LUEDERS D. A.

Summary

AMMONIA IS A TRIED AND PROVEN REFRIGERANT. THERE IS A CHALLENGE THOUGH, IN MAKING THE DEMAND FOR IT LARGE ENOUGH TO ULTIMATELY REDUCE THE AMMONIA OUTDOOR PACKAGE COST BELOW R22 PACKAGE COSTS THROUGH MASS PRODUCTION AND STANDARDIZATION. THIS MIGHT BE ACHIEVED THROUGH THE INHERENT ADVANTAGES THAT AMMONIA HAS OVER R22 OR R12. IT IS THE AUTHOR'S OPINION THAT A COST EFFECTIVE VIABLE ALTERNATIVE EXISTS TODAY FOR APPLICATION WHERE TRADITIONAL UNITARY CFC PACKAGES WERE APPLIED. THIS ALTERNATIVE IS THE AMMONIA PACKAGED REFRIGERATION UNIT.
