The expanding applications for ammonia in commercial refrigeration are being demonstrated in several recent projects involving heat pumps. According to the European-based organization Eurammon, which promotes natural refrigerants, heat pumps constitute one possibility for efficient management of heat energy.
Eurammon’s website states: “Energy can be saved in particular by those applications that are coupled to heat recovery from industrial processes. Waste heat generated in this way can be put to profitable use in the building — a potential that was scarcely used for a long time.”
