Called AirConSafe, it is currently available for domestic split air conditioners up to around 17 kW. No quantitative experimental d...
New Compressor for Ammonia
On display at ISH/Aircontec was a new compressor from Germany based GCM Kaltesysteme designed to use ammonia (R717) as a refrigerant. The range covers capacities from 100 to 1,000 kW and is usable with air- cooled or water-cooled condensers. Although suitable for the newer refrigerants such as R1234yf, the energy efficiency ratio is 25% higher when running with ammonia. Source: KI - Kalte L...
GWP - the New Index for Refrigerants
