Ammonia

Ammonia is widely used in industrial refrigeration systems because of its high performance, operating efficiency, and reliability in high-capacity applications. It enables robust, precise systems capable of continuous operation in critical processes where thermal control is essential.

At RCR, we design, specify, and implement ammonia-based solutions around each facility's operating conditions, process requirements, and the highest safety and operating standards. Our approach prioritizes system stability, energy efficiency, and proper integration with existing infrastructure to ensure consistent long-term performance.

Low-Charge Ammonia System

For pre-cooling fruits and vegetables, a low-charge ammonia system is ideal for rapidly reducing product temperature and preserving freshness from the source. This system delivers uniform cooling, minimizes product loss, and maintains quality throughout storage and distribution with high operating efficiency.

Key benefits

Rapid, uniform cooling

Extended shelf life

Reduced product loss

Efficient, reliable operation

Secondary System with Ammonia or R290 and Glycol

For packing, process, and loading-dock areas, a secondary system using ammonia or R290 and glycol provides an excellent balance of performance and cost-effectiveness. This configuration maintains stable temperatures in critical operating areas, improves system safety, and optimizes energy use in continuous-duty applications.

Key benefits

Stable thermal control in operating areas

Improved cost-effectiveness

Greater safety and design flexibility

Efficient continuous-process operation
