RECOVERY OF FOODSTUFF WOULD THEN BE EASIER IN CASE OF FIRE. AS FAR AS AMMONIA REFRIGERANT IS CONCERNED, THE PAPER SURVEYS TRADITIONAL AND INNOVATIVE SAFETY MEASURES: IT IS STRESSED THAT DIRECT EXPANSION AIR COOLERS SHOULD BE PLACED IN RECESSES PROVIDED WITH DOORS, TO SEPARATE THE REFRIGERATING PLANT FROM THE STORAGE ROOM.
