Ammonia refrigeration has played a major role in industrial cooling for more than a century and continues to be widely used in large-scale refrigeration applications. A recent industry article highlights how ammonia helped establish the modern cold chain, enabling large-scale food production, storage, and transportation. Over time, advances in compressors, system design, and safety standards have allowed ammonia systems to remain a reliable option for industrial refrigeration.

Today, growing environmental concerns and regulatory changes are bringing renewed attention to natural refrigerants such as ammonia and CO₂. As the industry moves away from higher-global-warming-potential refrigerants, many large refrigeration systems are turning back to natural refrigerant technologies that offer strong energy efficiency and long-term regulatory stability. Click here to read the full article.
