Refrigerants & environment
eurammon publishes a guide to selecting natural refrigerants
A practical selection process helps engineers build a shortlist before detailed system design.
eurammon has published Choosing the Best Natural Refrigerant for Your Application for designers, system builders and operators. It covers ammonia, CO₂, hydrocarbons, water, air and helium.
The process starts with temperature requirements and capacity. Engineers then assess the system configuration and local constraints, including safety, charge limits, component availability, service expertise and lifecycle cost.
The guide provides decision trees for cold rooms, process cooling with secondary fluids and heat pumps. Its purpose is to narrow the available options, rather than identify a single refrigerant for every application. Final selection still requires calculations for the proposed installation and a review of the applicable requirements.
