Replacing Freon 22 Refrigeration Systems

As a part of international agreements to eliminate ozone damaging greenhouse gases, the widely used refrigerant, Freon 22, is being phased out of production.

Higher Freon Operating Costs

While the full ban doesn't take effect until 2020, the production cutbacks that have come into effect are increasing the already high operating costs of Freon refrigeration systems, which appear headed for obsolescence.

The Eco Friendly Alternative

Industry analysts forecast increased demand for ammonia refrigeration systems. Ammonia systems not only command a significant operational cost advantage over Freon equipment, they are also ozone friendly.

Naturally Occurring Substance

Freon and other hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) are seen as significant contributors to global warming. By contrast, ammonia is a naturally occurring, ozone friendly substance, with virtually no carbon footprint.
