Conversion from R22 to R717. Practical experiences from three industrial plants.

Author(s) : JENSEN S. S., FORBES M.

Summary

The practical experiences associated with the conversion of three cold store and freezing plant industrial refrigeration systems from R22 to R717 refrigerant are described. In all cases, the refrigerant changeover coincided with a conversion from single stage to dual stage compression. Guidelines are provided for planning of similar conversions and safety issues are discussed. Energy savings of 5 to 17% directly attributable to the refrigerant change are recorded for one plant.
