Safe use of ammonia as a refrigerant in urban areas.

Uso seguro del amoniaco como refrigerante en zonas urbanas.

Author(s) : HAUKÅS H. T.

Type of article: Article, Review

Summary

Non-industrial use of ammonia as a refrigerant has shown an increasing trend during the last 10-15 years, especially in the Nordic countries, along with increasing pressure on the HFCs. Ammonia use in populated areas requires additional safety issues to be addressed. In the paper a strategy for safe use of ammonia is discussed, including methods for minimising ammonia release and methods to minimise the consequences of a release. Provided that realistic release scenarios are analysed and relevant measures taken to minimise identified hazards, it is the author's opinion that ammonia can be safely used for practically any purpose where it is found of interest technically.
