R717

R744

Renaissance of natural refrigerants carbon dioxide and ammonia

Advantages of natural refrigerant CO2

Design features of cascade refrigeration system

- Minimization of NH3 charge - Factory-assembled compact compressor unit ready to be connected - Sophisticated compressor technology - Highly efcient heat exchangers - Fully automatic oil rectifying of refrigeration circuits - Working pressure above atmospheric pressure in the range of low evaporating temperatures - Favourable price-performance ratio with respect to both investment and running costs

- Low risk potential for human beings and nature - Ozone depletion potential (ODP) = 0, Global warming-up potential (GWP) = 1 - Future-proof solution (Montreal and Kyoto) - Superior thermodynamic properties - High volumetric refrigerating capacity - Ensuring high quality of product to be frozen by minimizing the freezing times - Nonammable, nontoxic, odourless - Low-priced, available worldwide - Renaissance of well-proven refrigerant Future-proof solution (Montreal and Kyoto) ODP = 0, GWP = 0 Superior thermodynamic properties Toxic, but high warning effect Low-priced, available worldwide Application in industrial refrigeration for more than 100 years

Advantages of natural refrigerant NH3

- Industrial refrigeration systems for the lowtemperature range (e.g. freezers for food processing and drying processes)
