Advantages of Ammonia Refrigerant over

HCFC/HFC Refrigerants

Ammonia as refrigerant was used for the first time in vapour compression machine by Carl
Von Linde in 1876. Other refrigerants like C0 2, S0 2 also were commonly used till l 920's.
Development of CFC's (Chlorofluorocarbons) like CFCl 2, CFCl l in l 920's made them
more popular, as compared to all other refrigerants used in those days, since CFC's were
considered harmless and extremely stable chemicals as well as due to their odorless,
non flammable and non toxic characteristics. These refrigerants became known as God
sent & manmade chemicals. The damage to ozone layer and environment due to of
massive releases of refrigerant could not be foreseen in those days. "CFC" refrigerants
were thus promoted as safety refrigerants, resulting in an accelerating demand and
CFC's success. Due to success of CFC's, Ammonia refrigerant use got restricted to only
large industrial installations and food preservation applications.
