Halocarbon or Ammonia Refrigeration: Which Is Better for Cold Storage?
Choosing between a halocarbon refrigeration system and an ammonia system is an important decision when designing a cold storage facility. Both can provide reliable cooling and freezing, but the right choice depends on the required capacity, operating temperatures, energy consumption, safety requirements, and long-term costs. There is no universal capacity threshold that makes one refrigerant the best option for every project. The refrigerant and system design should be evaluated together, based on the facility’s actual operating conditions.
