Star’s case study presentation about low charge, high efficiency packaged ammonia cooling solutions for three different applications demonstrates the viability and operational benefits of this ammonia technology applicable to the North American market. ‘Critical charge’ system designs have reduced ammonia charges in excess of 80%. The use of inverted technology and developments in heat exchanger technology have ensured that efficiencies match and surpass those of traditional pumped circulation and flooded solutions. The presentation shows best practice using case studies relevant for the North American market.
