Ammonia (R717) Ammonia is the most widely used natural refrigerant for large industrial applications. With a GWP of 0, ammonia is a cost-effective, efficient, and sustainable alternative refrigerant offering 3 major advantages:

1. Efficiency
Ammonia is an ideal refrigerant, with a cooling capacity superior to that of other refrigerants. This means a smaller refrigerant charge is needed compared to halogenated hydrocarbon-based refrigerants, and the system can run at lower speed, making it more energy efficient.

2. Economic
Ammonia-based refrigerants are readily available, highly efficient and inexpensive, resulting in a lower cost of equipment ownership.
3. Better for the environment
Ammonia refrigerant is environmentally sustainable, with an Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) of zero and a GWP of zero. This aligns with our values of preserving our planet. The thermodynamic characteristics of Ammonia refrigerant, used since the dawn of the industry, permit construction of highly efficient refrigeration systems. Ammonia refrigerant achieves the greatest benefits in large-capacity plants, where it is well adapted in terms of both investment and efficiency.

CO₂ (R744) CO₂ is a naturally occurring, non-ozone-depleting refrigerant that addresses today’s concerns about the global warming potential (GWP) of common F-gases. With a GWP of 1, CO₂ is widely and effectively used in commercial and industrial refrigeration systems.
