Azane Inc to Promote Widespread Benefits of Low Charge Ammonia at Gustav Lorentzen Conference on Natural Refrigerants

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Caleb Nelson, Vice- President of US low charge ammonia refrigeration manufacturer, Azane Inc, will present a paper titled "Analysis of the long-term sustainability of ammonia chillers" which looks at the life cycle costs of air-cooled, low-charge packaged ammonia as well as ownership costs derived from capital costs, running costs, costs for refrigerant, maintenance, and useful lifespan.

As the 13th IIR Gustav Lorentzen Conference on Natural Refrigerants in Valencia approaches, the Vice President of Azane Inc has announced he will be presenting a paper on the long-term suitability of ammonia chillers for industrial and commercial purposes. Caleb Nelson will attend the International Institute of Refrigeration event from 18-20 2018 to make the case for sustainable natural fluids in the heating and cooling sector.

The global event attracts refrigeration industry professionals from all over the world to discuss research and network. GL2018 encourages migration towards long term sustainable cooling solutions, especially in warm climate countries with a strong need for air conditioning. Last year, the conference was held in Edinburgh and Azane's parent company Star Refrigeration was a major contributor to the event, delivering nine presentations and inviting delegates to see groundbreaking ammonia and CO2 installations in the local areal.

For 2018, American-based Azane Inc is leading the way in the promotion of low charge ammonia refrigeration systems.

Discussing the company's attendance Mr Nelson, Vice President of Azane Inc, said, "We are delighted to have been selected to present our knowledge and experience with low charge ammonia at one of the industry's foremost events on natural refrigerants. The paper aims to further educate the industry about low charge ammonia and clarify why it is a feasible option for end users to future-proof their cooling plants. It also explicitly proves why ammonia is not just the environmentally friendly option, but is also the most viable in terms of life cycle costs."

Low charge ammonia is still collecting momentum in the US, but there are many opportunities worldwide to migrate existing systems to a natural refrigerant. With increased energy efficiency and reliability, zero GWP (global warming potential) and a guaranteed payback within four to eight years, ammonia is an ideal solution following global HFC phaseouts.

European F-gas regulations, the Kigali amendment to the Montreal Protocol, and other various domestic HFC phase down strategies around the world are continuing to drive the interest, demand, and necessity for natural refrigerant solutions. With the increasing need for global warming countermeasures, reducing the direct and indirect carbon footprint of refrigeration systems is a priority and the most efficient way of doing that is converting from a synthetic refrigerant to a natural fluid.

As leaders in low charge ammonia, Mr Nelson will be delivering the insightful paper on behalf of Azane Inc, to directly compare the total cost of ownership of a low charge ammonia system compared to HFC chillers which are currently used to replace R-22 but struggle to provide similar efficiencies.

Star Refrigeration, the British parent company of the business is also a sponsor of the event.

The 13th IIR Gustave Lorentzen Conference on Natural Refrigerants takes place at The Universitat Politecnica de Valencia from 18-20 June 2018. Mr Nelson paper, "Analysis of the long-term sustainability of ammonia chillers" will be presented at 12:00 on Monday 18th in Room C.
