about natural refrigerants

ABOUT NATURAL REFRIGERANTS As a general differentiation, “natural refrigerants” are substances that exist naturally in the environment, while “non-natural refrigerants” or “synthetic refrigerants” are man-made chemicals, not naturally occurring in the environment. The precision of the term “natural refrigerants” is sometimes debated, given that to be used as refrigerants, ammonia, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons also undergo an industrial purification and manufacturing process. However, today there is a well-established distinction between substances whose chemical properties and safety aspects have been studied in their entirety and those fluorinated gases which, given their chemical complexity and comparatively short period of usage, have confirmed and/or unknown negative effects on ozone depletion, global warming and ecological safety, and therefore, are subject to continued debate. The most commonly used natural refrigerants today are ammonia (NH3 / R717), carbon dioxide (CO2 / R744), and hydrocarbons (HCs), such as propane (R290), iso-butane (R600a), and propylene, also known as propene (R1270). Mixtures of ammonia and dimethyl ether (R723) have been developed, as well as various hydrocarbon blends with optimized performance and safety properties (isobutane/ propane; R441 etc.). Water and air are also used, to a lesser extent, for example in adsorption chillers and deep-freezing applications. In addition to their wide availability, non toxicity, non-flammability and unbeatable environmental credentials, water and air have shifted into the focus of R&D activities. Natural refrigerants no longer in use are sulfur dioxide (SO2) and methyl chloride (CH3Cl).

CARBON DIOXIDE (ODP= 0; GWP= 1) Carbon dioxide (chemical symbol CO2, refrigerant designation R744) is colorless, odorless and heavier than air. With a Global Warming Potential (GWP) of 1, CO2 is the reference value for comparing a refrigerant’s direct impact on global warming. Carbon

classification (the same as most fluorocarbon refrigerants), indicating that it has low toxicity and is non-flammable. CO2 as a refrigerant is sourced as a by-product from a number of production methods. Although it is non-toxic, if enough carbon dioxide builds up in an enclosed space, it will begin to displace oxygen. Over a certain period of time, this can cause asphyxiation of those present. With a long atmospheric lifetime, CO2 does not lead to any by-product formation or decay products with serious environmental impact. When used as a refrigerant, carbon dioxide typically operates at a higher pressure than fluorocarbons and other refrigerants. While this presents some design challenges, they can be overcome in systems designed specifically to use carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is compatible with some, but not all, commonly used refrigeration system lubricants. In particular, it is not suited for use with polyol ester (POE) and poly vinyl ether (PVE) lubricants and it only has limited applications with poly alkaline glycol (PAG) lubricants. It is generally regarded as a inexpensive and easily available refrigerant.

Despite its undisputed energy efficiency benefits, the use of ammonia is restricted in certain applications and geographic regions, due to its toxicity and flammability. As a result, R717 is effectively prohibited from use inside occupied spaces but can be used in unoccupied areas or outside. However, many advances have been made in recent years to minimize risks for human health, particularly for ammonia installations in populated areas. These advances include using ammonia in conjunction with other refrigerants, such as in secondary systems, in order to reduce and isolate an ammonia charge, using advanced safety equipment, deploying containment casings, or using ammonia absorption systems. It is important to note that ammonia has a strong odor, making leaks easy to detect. The additional safety equipment required does increase costs; however, manufacturers claim that operational energy and maintenance savings potentially outweigh the higher initial outlay in the long run.

AMMONIA (ODP= 0; GWP= 0)

HYDROCARBONS (ODP= 0; GWP< 4)

Ammonia (chemical symbol NH3, refrigerant designation R717) is a colorless gas at atmospheric pressure. With zero ozone depletion and global warming potential, as well as a short atmospheric lifetime, it does not form any by-products or decomposition products with negative environmental impact. It is compatible with some, but not all, commonly used refrigeration system lubricants. In particular, it is not suited for use with polyol ester (POE) and poly vinyl ether (PVE) lubricants, and it only has limited applications with poly alkylene glycol (PAG) lubricants.

With zero ozone depleting characteristics and an ultra-low global warming impact, the group of hydrocarbons (HCs) does not form any by-products or decomposition products in the atmosphere. HC refrigerants can be applied either in systems designed specifically for their use, or as replacements in a system designed for a fluorocarbon refrigerant, making them a cost-competitive solution, and optimal for developing countries. If a hydrocarbon refrigerant is to be used in a system designed for a

about natural refrigerants

different refrigerant, it should be noted that some modifications are probably required to ensure compatibility. Lubricant compatibility and the issues associated with hydrocarbons’ flammability have to be addressed. However, the greatest potential for hydrocarbon refrigerants lies in new systems. Hydrocarbon refrigerants are flammable and, as a result, carry an A3 safety classification, which means they have a low toxicity but are in the higher range of flammability. HCs are often subject to stricter safety requirements concerning the quantities permitted in occupied spaces. Hydrocarbon refrigerants are fully compatible with almost all lubricants commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. One major exception to this rule is lubricants containing silicone and silicate (additives which are commonly used as antifoaming agents).

WATER (ODP= 0; GWP= 0) Water (chemical symbol H2O, refrigerant designation R718) is one of the oldest refrigerants used for refrigeration applications. Also known as dihydrogen monoxide, water or water vapor is one of the Earth’s most abundant elements. Water has been extensively used as a process fluid (distillation, drying processes), as a heat transfer or energy storage medium (central heating, system cooling, ice storage systems) and as a working fluid in the Rankine power generation cycle. R718 is an environmentally safe refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and zero global

In refrigeration applications, water requires state-of-the-art technology. Its use as a refrigerant has been mostly limited to compression chillers with steam injection compressors, absorption systems built around a binary fluid comprised of lithium bromide as the absorbent and adsorption systems using water as the refrigerant and the mineral zeolite as the adsorber. From an environmental and thermodynamic point of view, water is an ideal refrigerant for applications above 0°C. R718 has a higher latent heat of evaporation (2,270kJ/ kg) than other natural refrigerants. R718 absorbs significantly larger amounts of energy, in the form of heat, during a change of phase from liquid to gas, without a change in temperature. An obvious limitation is the high freezing rate at atmospheric pressure. Water leads to corrosion and oxidation of many metals. Water is more reactive than other refrigerants and choosing the right materials for the R718 system during the design phase requires special attention.

AIR (ODP= 0; GWP= 0) Air (refrigerant designation R729) is a refrigerant that is environmentally benign, inexpensive, totally safe and non-toxic. Environmental concerns about ozone depletion, global warming, and increasingly stringent legislation have renewed the interest in

alternative refrigeration technology globally. However, the use of air cycle refrigeration systems is not new. It was used on refrigerated cargo ships around the turn of the last century. Air cycle refrigeration works on the reverse Brayton or Joule cycle. Air as a refrigerant does not undergo phase change (condensation/evaporation) at the temperature levels encountered in conventional refrigeration applications. The COP value of air is low because of its light weight, but air cycle cooling systems can provide relatively high temperature heat recovery without the efficiency setback experienced by vapor compression systems. Air cycle units, compared to vapor-compression units, can also produce a much higher temperature difference between the hot and cold sides. As a result, very cold air can be produced for near-cryogenic processes. The performance of an air cycle unit does not deteriorate as much as that of a vapor-compression unit when operating away from its design point. When operating in a refrigeration cycle, an air cycle unit can also produce heat at a useful temperature. Air has been used commercially for aircraft cooling for a long time. In spite of the low COP, air is used because of the specific operating conditions of aircraft (e.g., availability of compressed air and ram effect) and stringent specifications (e.g., low weight, small size, absolute safety, zero toxicity, etc.). Air has also been used as a refrigerant for residential and automobile air conditioning and cooling. In some refrigeration plants, air is used in the quick freezing of food products.

Pietro Cardente International Sales Director IBP/Conex-Bänninger pietro.cardente@ibpgroup.com / +44 (0)7748 868 099 Conex Bänninger, in conjunction with Wieland, brings high pressure, eco-friendly K65 system to the USA. Conex Bänninger, global plumbing fittings and valves manufacturer will be showcasing their extensive product range for the first time at the 2015 AHR Expo, with particular focus on the high pressure K65 tube and fitting system, suitable for CO2 applications. The K65 system solution from Conex Bänninger, and the German-based Wieland Werke, is set to be of particular benefit to the US market due to the increasing demand within the commercial refrigeration field for CO2 based systems. CO2 as an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional refrigerants is fast becoming the choice across the globe. Pietro Cardente, International Sales Director for Conex Bänninger comments:

Why is the K65 system suitable for the US market? Modern, environmentally friendly refrigerants such as CO2 are being increasingly used within supermarkets for commercial refrigeration applications that operate at high pressures. Based on a high-strength copper alloy which has already been extensively used in Europe, the K65 system is suitable for applications operating at pressures up to 120 bar (1750 PSI).

How easy is it to install and work with the K65 system? K65 has excellent processing properties, which are similar to those of copper. The tubes can be brazed to K65 fittings without the need for welding, as used with alternatives including stainless steel.

Is the K65 system covered by warranty? K65 fittings, by Conex Bänninger and tubes by Wieland, are available under a joint system guarantee that includes CO2 applications up to 120 bar (1750 PSI).

Is the K65 system officially marked? Components of the K65 system can be clearly identified at all times with the tube marked with “Wieland K65 120 bar” and fittings marked with a green stamp and “>B< K65 120 bar”.

What sizes is the K65 system available in? The K65 system is available in sizes 3/8” to 2 1/8” with further sizes available on request.

Where is the K65 system available? Stock holding facilities are currently being established in North America, during the course of 2015 to support the demand for K65 in the USA. The K65 tube system will be available to wholesalers from early 2015. We are already in the process of ensuring the products are tested to local regulations UL 207 and CSA C22.2.

Luke Facemyer Vice President, Refrigeration Engineering Stellar lfacemyer@stellar.net / +1 (904) 260-2900 What are the key product features and how does it help end users save energy and money and/or change the market? Stellar offers industrial chiller packages utilizing natural refrigerants such as ammonia and carbon dioxide. The product line includes custom packages which can be designed to meet specific customer demands with the lowest refrigerant charge, highest efficiency, low installation cost and reduced footprint.

What type of systems for CO2 / hydrocarbons / ammonia / water / air does Stellar manufacture? Stellar is an industry leading industrial refrigeration contractor with thousands of ammonia and dozens of carbon dioxide refrigeration system installations. This includes centralized ammonia refrigeration systems, cascade systems, and critically charged packaged systems.

What influence have regulations either in the US or in other regions (i.e. EU F-Gas regulation) had on your business? Several of our customers are international companies. They are seeing the effects of the F-Gas regulation, particularly in Europe, and we anticipate similar changes in the US.

What impact do your products have on customers that may already be utilizing a traditional ammonia system? There is a growing trend in the industrial ammonia refrigeration industry to reduce refrigerant charge. These packaged chillers offer a very low refrigerant charge to TR ratio and utilize secondary refrigerants to provide cooling for process loads.

Klaas Visser Principal KAV Consulting Pty Ltd kavconsult@bigpond.com / +61 3 5447 9436 What are your key product and service features and how do they help end users save money? The world’s first Multi-Function Two Stage Transcritical CO2 System with Parallel Compression (MFTSCCO2SPC) we designed has now been operating for nearly four years with amazing energy saving benefits, including gas, and reduction in emissions, both direct and indirect. In 2010 we were given the opportunity to implement our ideas on CO2 refrigeration when the Australian Federal Government provided $500,000.00 (50%) funding for a MFTSCCO2SPC which replaced 22 existing CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigeration and electrical heating systems.

We offer a detailed design service for ammonia and CO2 refrigeration. We have extensive experience in the design and construction of medium to large custom designed and built ammonia refrigeration systems for the food processing industries. At last count we had been involved in nearly 900 projects since 1966, mostly in the meat packing industry.

Where are your services and product available? We have extensive experience providing industrial refrigeration consulting engineering services in the USA and Asia since 1982. We will continue to offer these services. We are looking for agents to handle our evaporative condensers in all parts of the world for all refrigerants, including as hybrids for CO2 application, to save water and eliminate the danger of legionella.

What other components for CO² and ammonia does KAV Consulting Pty Ltd offer?

Seeing the world’s first MFTSCCO2SPC operate with a two - stage gas cooler with adiabatic assistance to the second stage convinced us that evaporative condensers and gas coolers would greatly improve the energy efficiency. So we have applied for patents on a very advanced all stainless steel evaporative condenser design, which will become available soon with the first unit being tested on ammonia in early 2015. Our unique design ability will reduce the electrical energy cost in supermarkets by about 20 to 50% if all AC, MT and LT refrigeration duties are integrated. In more temperate climates these systems would also be used to supply heating on demand during the cooler and winter months.

Which region in the world do you see the biggest growth for natural refrigerant services and products? The 1% design Ambient Wet Bulb Temperature does not exceed 82.4°F (28°C) in 98% of the world’s local climates. This means that gas cooling to 88°F (31°C) in an evaporative gas cooler results in MFTSCCO2SPCs operating at higher electrical energy efficiencies, i.e. higher COPs than any other refrigerant all over the world, including ammonia, without expanders or ejectors. I am very glad to finally confirm that my dear late friend Professor Gustav Lorentzen was right when he told me in 1985 that properly applied, CO2 has the potential to become the world’s most ubiquitous refrigerant! We have proven this with our MFTSCCO2SPC in a relatively warm climate like Melbourne which has an average annual temperature of 59°F (15°C).
