Explanation:

Ammonia as a refrigerant

• Ammonia has the highest refrigerating capacity per kg of any refrigerant and a number of other excellent thermal properties that make it popular for a number of refrigeration applications in spite of its being toxic, explosive, and flammable within certain conditions.
• Ammonia is used as a refrigerant prominently in the refrigeration systems of the food industry like dairies, ice creams plants, frozen food production plants, cold storage warehouses, processors of fish, poultry, and meat, and a number of other applications.

Various advantages of using Ammonia as a refrigerant are:

1. It is a chemical compound of Nitrogen and Hydrogen and under ordinary conditions.
2. It is a colorless gas.
3. High latent heat of vaporization at – 15°C latent heat of vaporization is 1315 kJ/kg.
4. It is poisonous if inhaled in large quantities.
5. It is somewhat flammable.
