Ammonia is a highly efficient environmentally friendly refrigerant with excellent heat transfer properties, making it an outstanding choice as a refrigerant in heat pump systems.
Ammonia is a natural refrigerant with a GWP (Global Warming Potential) of zero, making it an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic refrigerants.
Energy-efficient refrigerant
Ammonia has excellent thermodynamic properties, providing high energy efficiency. This means that heat pump systems using ammonia can achieve high COP (Coefficient of Performance) values, reducing both energy consumption and operating costs. Additionally, ammonia systems generally require less refrigerant charge compared to many other refrigerants, which can reduce costs and the complexity of installation and maintenance.
Moreover, ammonia is known for its good heat transfer capabilities and its ability to operate efficiently over a wide temperature range, making it suitable for various applications, from low-temperature cooling to high-efficiency heat pumping.
