Due to its physical properties, ammonia has been used for almost 150 years in industrial refrigeration processes to cause more efficient cooling. It is an excellent refrigerant because it has good heat transfer properties, it has no harmful effects on metals, lubricants and other materials used in refrigeration systems except copper, and its cost is much lower than most other refrigerants.
Despite all these benefits, the time has now come to rethink its use in order to significantly contribute to sustainable solutions.
Low Charme Ammonia is one of the main pillars of SuperFrio's environmental responsibility. For those who are not used to the term, we can summarize it by saying that it is a very current concept that aims to reduce the impact of ammonia in the cold chain and is regulated by the IIAR.
Here are some benefits of Low Charge Ammonia:
- No damage to the ozone layer.
- Without harming the environment, it does not generate a greenhouse effect.
- Improves the efficiency of the cooling system.
- It reduces the use of ammonia by about 20% compared to previous processes.
- Lower volume of ammonia in the system and greater energy efficiency.
- In the event of a leak, a much smaller amount will be released into the environment, compared to the traditional method with ammonia.
SuperFrio has been investing in modern equipment, training its employees, in addition to observing fundamental factors for the proper safety of its processes, thus reducing the amount of ammonia used in its operations.
See some data:
CD by SuperFrio with Low Charge Ammonia (100% Ammonia with Low Charge)
- RMSPII (Osasco)
- LDNI (Cambé I)
SuperFrio CD with Low Charge Ammonia (Secondary Fluid with Low Charge)
- BEL (Bethlehem)
- MAO (Manaus)
- CGB (Cuiabá)
- RPII (Ribeirão Preto II)
With these adaptations, SuperFrio promotes a more conscious industrial refrigeration environment and improves local safety, further increasing productivity and reducing operating costs.
SuperFrio is a national pioneer when it comes to Low Charge Ammonia, as this technology is not yet widely used in Brazil. In all new installations, SuperFrio seeks to use this type of technology so that the ecological impact is always as small as possible, in addition to seeking alignment with its ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) plan, SuperFrio is responsible for the future of the planet.
A SuperCold seeks the best technologies to protect its employees and the environment!
