Kurt Liebendorfer, Vice President at Evapco, presented on how to handle the new developments in ammonia refrigeration, including understanding regulatory compliance, R&D testing, and reliable and repeatable manufacturing. Lower-charge ammonia systems essentially means lower-risk, and packaged products can make code compliance easier and less costly. The Evapcold low-charge units undergo rigorous testing; an example was given of a 25 TR test unit, which operated at full and part loads in Evapco's Environmental Test Lab "D" while being put through -30F (-34°C) to 100F (37.8°C) ambient temperatures. Evapco offers a complete range of products; 250 total models that are all in compliance with major U.S. codes.
