Refrigerants
Natural refrigerants tailored to meet diverse industrial cooling needs while minimizing energy use and environmental impact.
Ammonia Refrigeration
Ammonia (R-717) is the standard refrigerant for high-capacity industrial refrigeration, selected where efficiency, reliability, and performance matter most. Compared to CFC and HCFC refrigerants, ammonia delivers superior thermodynamic performance, particularly at low temperatures, enabling higher system efficiency and reduced energy consumption across demanding applications.
Ammonia systems also provide long-term cost effectiveness through lower energy use, stable refrigerant availability, and durable equipment designed for extended service life. As a natural refrigerant with zero global warming potential, ammonia combines proven industrial performance with long-term regulatory confidence.
Optimal Thermodynamics
Exceptional heat transfer characteristics allow ammonia refrigeration systems to deliver efficient capacity across a wide range of industrial cooling applications.
Proven Industrial Longevity
Decades of use in demanding facilities demonstrate ammonia’s long service life, predictable operation, and consistent performance compared to alternative refrigerants.
Transcritical CO₂
Transcritical CO₂ (R-744) refrigeration systems use a 100% natural refrigerant to deliver efficient, high-capacity cooling in applications where regulatory simplicity and long-term sustainability matter. Designed to operate at elevated pressures, these systems enable compact equipment layouts, integrated heat recovery, and reliable performance across a wide range of operating conditions, while eliminating OSHA PSM and EPA RMP requirements.
Integrated Heat Recovery
High operating pressures enable effective recovery of rejected heat for space heating and process loads, improving overall facility energy efficiency.
Simplified Regulatory Compliance
Transcritical CO₂ systems are not subject to OSHA PSM or EPA RMP requirements, reducing compliance complexity while maintaining safe, reliable operation.
Ammonia / CO₂ Cascade
Ammonia / CO₂ cascade systems combine two natural refrigerants in a staged architecture to maximize efficiency across a wide operating range. By applying ammonia where it delivers the greatest thermodynamic advantage and CO₂ for low-temperature distribution, these systems provide strong low-temperature performance, compact equipment layouts, and design flexibility for facilities with specific operational or spatial requirements.
Low-Temperature Efficiency
Using ammonia on the high stage and CO₂ on the low stage allows each refrigerant to operate in its optimal range, improving efficiency and reducing energy demand in low-temperature applications.
Optimized System Architecture
Cascade designs concentrate ammonia systems in centralized mechanical spaces while leveraging CO₂ for distributed low-temperature loads, supporting cleaner layouts, compact footprints, and streamlined system integration.
