ammonia to go refrigerant recovery<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Ammonia refrigerant recovery is available to any customer in the UK. We even have overseas customers in Jeddah and Malaga. We at ammonia to go have state of the art ammonia refrigerant recovery units.<\/p>\n

pump out unit<\/h3>\n

The pump out unit is set up to suck refrigerant vapour from the recovery vessels to drop their internal pressure. This lower pressure assists the transfer pump. The\u00a0small amount of liquid refrigerant which is condensed in the pump out unit is put back into the plant.\u00a0When the transfer pump has finished getting the liquid out of the plant, the operation of the pump out unit is reversed and the vapour in the plant is condensed into liquid and then discharged into the recovery vessels.<\/p>\n

components<\/h3>\n

All of the components of the pump out unit are\u00a0ammonia tested and certified.\u00a0The certification is kept in a file at Head Office with the design specifications.<\/p>\n

compressor<\/h3>\n

Suction vapour enters the compressor and is discharged as a hot high pressure gas. We use a\u00a0reciprocating compressor with a sight glass to see the oil level.\u00a0Oil which is discharged from the compressor goes into an oil separator…<\/p>\n

oil separator<\/h3>\n

This oil separator slows the velocity of the discharge refrigerant by having a larger internal volume than the discharge pipe. Also, the\u00a0discharge gas is swirled around the inside of the oil separator.\u00a0This causes the oil to drain to the bottom and the discharge gas to leave the oil separator from the top on the way to the condenser.<\/p>\n

compressor oil return<\/h3>\n

The oil which collects in the bottom of the oil separator is returned to the oil sump in the bottom of the compressor. This\u00a0oil sump is at low suction pressure and the oil separator is at high discharge pressure.\u00a0This difference in pressure causes the oil to return to the compressor.<\/p>\n

condenser<\/h3>\n

The condenser has a direct on line\u00a03 phase condenser fan\u00a0which is operated by a cam switch which is located on the pump out unit’s panel.<\/p>\n

high pressure switch<\/h3>\n

A high pressure switch is connected to the condenser with a \u00bc” hose. This switch has a\u00a0manual reset button\u00a0and forms part of the safety chain which is designed to protect the compressor.<\/p>\n

subcooling<\/h3>\n

The ammonia refrigerant which goes through the condenser is subcooled to below saturation by the air being sucked through the fins by the condenser fan.\u00a0The fins are used to increase the surface area\u00a0of the condenser tubes and dissipate more heat.<\/p>\n

sight glass<\/h3>\n

On the outlet from the condenser, we have fitted a sight glass\u00a0to\u00a0inspect that the refrigerant has been satisfactorily condensed\u00a0into a liquid.<\/p>\n

check valve<\/h3>\n

The last component fitted to the pump out unit is the check valve. This valve is a\u00a0safety feature should anything go wrong with the pump out unit.\u00a0Only the inlet to the unit would need to be closed in the event of a failure of the unit.<\/p>\n

ammonia to go refrigerant transfer pump<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Now available to any UK factory-\u00a0ammonia refrigerant transfer. We had previously only offered this service to our maintenance contact customers.<\/p>\n

ammonia to go pump<\/h3>\n

The design requirements of these pumps mean that they are\u00a0not available to buy from any supplier.\u00a0Therefore, we design and build our own pumps using NASA technology…<\/p>\n

NASA developed technology<\/h3>\n

Ammonia is used to cool the international space station.\u00a0NASA has developed materials that are not affected by the highly toxic and highly corrosive properties of ammonia.<\/p>\n
