Mark Tomooka, Engineering Manager from Mayekawa USA, provides an interesting review of ammonia supermarket systems, identifying success factors as well as sharing the lessons learned from Mayekawa’s experience. Although CO₂ is often the preferred refrigerant for commercial applications, Mayekawa’s experience with the CO₂/ammonia store in Carpinteria proves that the interest in ammonia systems is increasing due to its compact construction, market price and energy efficiency.
