Type of article: Article

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 2009-1436). The incidence of accidents and fatalities involving ammonia refrigeration is extraordinarily low compared to other risks in society. There is a general unawareness of this, with society pronouncing ammonia, with its heavy, pungent smell, as both dangerous and frightening. This paper explains why ammonia far exceeds its reputation. When designers and users of ammonia for refrigeration, heat pumps and organic Rankine cycle processes consider all safety codes, standard and legal regulations they conclude that ammonia is a safe and profitable refrigerant.
