Understanding Natural Refrigerants Those who are not in the Refrigeration Plant Operator field don’t often know that ammonia is a natural refrigerant. It is an efficient way to run a refrigeration system, and it is actually one of the most environmentally friendly refrigerants on the market. Understanding Ammonia Refrigeration Safety As mentioned, ammonia is a natural refrigerant often used in large, industrial plants where its advantages can be fully utilized without compromising safety. Thanks to ammonias thermodynamic properties it outperforms synthetic refrigerants, but it also runs the risk of toxicity and flammability, making the need for an on-site Refrigeration Plant Operator who has the appropriate training to handle ammonia in order to ensure safe operation of the system.
