Ammonia remains one of the most effective industrial refrigerants available. Used well, it delivers excellent efficiency. Used poorly, it creates unnecessary risk and cost.
At EJM Refrigeration we see the same pattern across industrial and commercial sites: small issues left unresolved become expensive interruptions. A clear plan, competent engineers and timely maintenance keep temperatures stable and costs under control.
Why ammonia still leads for industrial duty
High volumetric efficiency, zero GWP and strong thermodynamic performance make ammonia ideal for cold stores, food manufacturing and distribution centres. The challenge is designing and maintaining plant rooms that protect people as well as product.
Practical safety essentials
- Clear gas detection with tested alarms
- Ventilation that matches the plant room volume and charge
- Documented emergency procedures and trained responders
- Regular leak checks and valve maintenance
- Accessible PPE and clear escape routes
Efficiency is not optional
A safe plant should also be an efficient plant. Fouled condensers, incorrect set-points and neglected oil management all push energy use up. EJM designs, installs and maintains ammonia systems with both performance and safety in mind.
If your site is planning works, reviewing energy use, or simply needs a reliable service partner, our team can help from initial survey through installation and ongoing maintenance.
If you would like advice on your plant, a site survey, or a planned maintenance proposal, contact EJM Refrigeration on 01429 836161 or email [email protected].
