More recently, the increasing uptake of CARBON DIOXIDE IS RED-HOT (R-744) in commercial applications has led refrigeration manufacturers to consider ways to exploit this promising natural refrigerant in industrial applications — as well as technology to combine some great benefits of both refrigerants and facilitate this transition - which is finally coming of age.

In modern times, tightening regulations by the Occupational Basic safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have sought upskill the safety of NH3 models. Enter in NH3/CO2 cascade technology, a system architecture that have been successfully deployed in many commercial applications with HFCs to the high side.

Emerson's director of food list marketing and growth strategy for any cold chain, Andre Patenaude, explains why ammonia (aka NH3 or R-717) have been the backbone of many frigid Heat Exchanger Manufacturers storage applications, for many many years.

Operators are now required to offer documentation for systems charged with a minimum of 10, 000 lbs of ammonia, a OSHA’s Process Safety Management of Highly Hazardous Chemicals standard.The actual large industrial refrigeration market is no stranger to the application of natural refrigerants
