Low Electricity Consumption
- Ammonia refrigeration system ensures up to %40 lower energy consumption compared with freon refrigeration system according to project conditions.
Maintenance and Operating Costs
- Ammonia refrigeration system needs fewer compressors than freon refrigeration systems.
- It gives the advantage for maintenance and service costs.
- Industrial type ammonia compressors have longer working life compare to freon compressors.
Cost of Refrigerant
- Ammonia systems circulate 7 to 8 times less refrigerant than Freon systems for the same cooling capacity.
- Besides price for ammonia is approximately 10 times lower than the price for freon.
- Therefore cost of the refrigerant in ammonia system is much lower than the freon systems.
Gas(Refrigerant) Charge and Gas Leak
- Freon piping system has more threated connection than ammonia piping. Therefore gas charged is needed more often in freon systems.
- Because of a toxic effect of ammonia, steel pipes and high-quality welding connection are used in ammonia systems. Therefore risk for a gas leak is much lower in ammonia systems compare to freon systems.
Operational Sensitivity
- Freon systems are very sensitive to any foreign material such as air, foreign gases, dirt etc. If any impurities are present in a freon system, it might not operate satisfactorily. Even equipment breakdowns might occur.
- On the other hand, although detrimental, ammonia system can stand these impurities and no breakdown occurs.
Highest Coefficient of Performance COP
- Ammonia refrigerant has the highest cooling with less energy compared to other refrigerants.
ODP and GWP
- The ODP and GWP values of the ammonia gas are zero.
- ODP: Ozone Depletion Potential = O
- GWP: Global Warming Potential = O

I really liked what you said about how the ammonia systems will circulate seven to eight times less refrigerant for the same cooling capacity as freon. My aunt is looking to get refrigerators for her new restaurant and is considering the different systems out there. Thank you for the information about how ammonia is also cheaper in comparison.

I really like what you said about how ammonia refrigeration systems will guarantee significantly lower maintenance and service costs. If I were to start my own manufacturing facility, I will definitely want the most energy-efficient machinery for my operation. That way, I can be sure that I am saving as much money as I can get to spend on other projects. It certainly looks like these types of refrigeration systems will help me achieve this goal.

It’s great that you talked about how an ammonia refrigeration system comes with low energy consumption. In my opinion, it’s a good idea to look at different options when looking for a refrigeration system. In that way, I believe you could compare their characteristics and choose the best one. Thanks for the information on refrigeration systems.
