CO2 vs Ammonia—Which Refrigerant Is the Best for Your Business?
Natural refrigerants are found to be viable alternative refrigerants when it comes to industrial applications. First, they are energy-efficient due to their thermodynamic properties. Additionally, they offer a lower total cost of ownership than their synthetic counterparts, such as HFCs. More than that, natural refrigerants are safer for the environment since they have little or no global warming potential (GWP) and ozone depletion potential (ODP), making them a good investment for fighting climate change. When it comes to specific types of natural refrigerants, CO2 and ammonia (NH3) are the two most widely used refrigerants in the industry. Whether for cold
