F. Most of the compressors oils have an ignition temperature of about 300 degrees F when atomized with air. Energy Ammonia uses less energy per ton of refigeration than any of the other commonly available refrigerants. Ammonia vapor in air is absorbed by moisture in the air and falls to earth as a fertilizer in the next rain, snow or dew. Ammonia does not cause any environmental problems such as the Greenhouse Effect, deplete the protective Ozone Layer, etc. Summary Ammonia is the least expensive, most effective, safest, requires smaller pipes, lower mass flow, biodegradable and has better heat transfer than any other available refrigerants.
All refrigerants are dangerous.
Treat refrigerants with caution and respect.
