James Graham, Sales Director at BITZER UK, explains how ammonia can be an efficient and sustainable option for commercial cooling.
Long relied on in industrial settings, ammonia is now being applied in a new generation of compact, energy efficient systems that are reshaping how manufacturers, pharmaceutical firms and processors approach their cooling needs.
Ammonia (NH₃) is a natural refrigerant with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP), zero Global Warming Potential (GWP) and one of the lowest Total Equivalent Warming Impact (TEWI) ratings of any refrigerant.
It’s highly efficient, which results in lower energy consumption and reduced emissions.
Regulatory shifts are also accelerating this transition. The revised EU F-Gas Regulation and the global Kigali Amendment are reducing the availability and use of high-GWP synthetic refrigerants.
