Reevaluation of the application of ammonia in the field of HVAC.

Author(s) : SHEN X. Z., SHEN X. M.

Summary

With the increasing concern regarding environmental protection, the problems of stratospheric ozone depletion and global warming become key factors when choosing refrigerants. Traditional refrigerants such as ammonia are satisfactory in terms of environmental protection, while CFCs and HCFCs have relatively high ozone depletion potentials and total equivalent warming impacts. With the gradual prohibition of CFCs and HCFCs, ammonia should be widely applied as one of the natural refrigerants in the heating and ventilation air-conditioning industry, provided that essential safety precautions are ensured.
