Ammonia water solution as secondary refrigerant: advantages and drawbacks.

Author(s) : GIBERT V.

Summary

Because of environmental reasons one should normally try to reduce refrigerant load under pressure. This approach promotes the use of brines in combination with a primary refrigeration loop. This leads to the development of ammonia-water solution, also called alkali, in some European countries and more especially in France. One could estimate that about 50 installations with alkali have been implemented in France within the last 5 years. The aim of this paper is to show the advantages of alkali as brine compared to monoethylene glycol but also to address the authorities about the contradictions between regulations governing use of ammonia and use of alkali.
