Information Paper 18/00 Ammonia refrigerant in buildings: minimising the hazards
Publication Year

Document Status

Abstract
Ammonia is being increasingly used as refrigerant for building air conditioning systems on account of its low environmental impact and excellent refrigeration properties. However, ammonia is highly toxic which means that greater care is needed in its use. This paper shows that the design of safe ammonia systems must also take into account dispersal mechanisms.
