Hot gas defrost of low temperature refrigeration evaporators with natural refrigerants

published Feb 21, 2013 - 8 pages

Industrial refrigeration systems predominantly use natural refrigerants, primarily ammonia and more recently CO2. Energy efficiency and the effective operation of those systems are the key parameters for operators of the plants.

The focus of the white paper is the comparisons of hot gas defrost strategy control methods, both on the hot gas side as well as on the condensate drain. This white paper is based on the article originally presented at the 10th IIR Gustav Lorent
