Ammonia Systems (R717)
Installation and maintenance of ammonia (R717) refrigeration for large-capacity requirements with high energy efficiency.
Ammonia (R717) is a refrigerant with excellent thermodynamic efficiency and zero ozone depletion potential. At large capacities — industrial cold storage, fish processing, or ice plants — its efficiency advantage over synthetic refrigerants shows up directly in the monthly electricity bill.
Ammonia is also toxic and, at certain concentrations, flammable, so installation demands different handling: a separate machine room with adequate ventilation, leak detection, emergency procedures, and operators who understand the system. We treat those requirements as an inseparable part of the scope, not an optional extra.
What we deliver
- Load calculation and system design for large capacities.
- Machine room installation with appropriate ventilation and separation.
- Pipework and valve installation with safety devices.
- Leak detection installation and emergency procedure preparation.
- Operator training and scheduled maintenance after handover.
