Our team has spent a lot of time working with our clients to help them navigate the applicability of best practices. In the field of ammonia refrigeration, the International Institute of All-Natural Refrigeration (IIAR) is known as our leading best practice, or what our industry refers to as "Recognized and Generally Accepted Good Engineering Practices" (RAGAGEP). This doesn't mean IIAR is the only option out there for ammonia refrigeration systems, but it is considered to be
Understanding how ammonia behaves when it is accidentally released is extremely important for protecting people, facilities, and the environment. When stored under pressure, ammonia can rapidly turn into a mixture of gas and cold liquid droplets known as a two-phase release, that creates visibility hazards, breathing risks, and unpredictable movement through indoor spaces. The following information is a simplified technical summary of the 186-page Jack Rabbit III laboratory s
Routine oil analysis is one of the most valuable tools in maintaining the health, reliability, and efficiency of industrial refrigeration compressors. Understanding how to interpret ammonia compressor oil lab results allows operators, technicians, and management to make informed decisions about oil changes, contamination control, and early detection of mechanical issues. When interpreting ammonia compressor oil lab results, knowing the compressor manufacturers general guideli
