Designing and building a hydrocarbon-based commercial refrigeration system to customer specifications.

Author(s) : PETERS J.

Summary

The advantages of propane are the following: range of use from deep-freeze to climate; compression temperature approximately 30 K, lower than for R22; consequently one-step compression also for deep-freeze and air-cooled condensation as well as suction gas cooling; minimized refrigerant charge; low electrical power input/consumption/CO2-emission; no problems regarding the mixing with machine lubricants, no hazard to the ozone layer; no adding to the greenhouse effect (direct impact); easily available, low price. These aspects offset the disadvantage of combustibility/inflammability and the related additional expenditure for safety requirements.
