Status and analysis of ammonia refrigeration technology for cold stores in China.

Number: pap. n. 7

Author(s) : ZHANG J.

Summary

Ammonia is widely used in refrigerating plants in China, where more than 92% of cold stores have adopted it as the refrigerant. The energy efficiency of cold stores is introduced, and the status of equipment used in ammonia refrigeration plants reviewed. The author’s investigations reveal a continuing increase in the size of cold stores and progressive application of screw compressors. Based on field surveys, safety issues around ammonia refrigeration still present a challenge in China. National standards for safety and charging of ammonia systems have recently been issued to address these problems, and the measures in these standards are introduced.
