Ammonia Clean Up Systems

THE REVIVER (patent pending)

REMOVES WATER FROM AMMONIA REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS

The REVIVER works in side stream fashion to remove water contaminants continuously from large ammonia refrigeration systems.
The unit is easy to install.



PROBLEM: WATER CONTAMINATION
IN AMMONIA REFRIGERATION SYSTEMS

This is a very common problem. Ammonia refrigeration systems are charged with anhydrous ammonia, meaning free of water. When water is introduced into anhydrous ammonia, an aqueous ammonia solution is formed. The pressure / temperature physical properties are adversely affected with the saturated temperature increasing with the amount of water present in the ammonia solution.

Note that as the water percent increases, the incremental increase in saturated suction temperature becomes greater. Water contaminated refrigeration systems must operate at lower suction pressure in order to maintain desired room temperature or to handle process type loads. With such a change in operating conditions, a two fold penalty results. For each degree F that saturated suction temperature is lowered, compressor capacity is reduced approximately 2-1/2 percent for high stage and 3 percent for boosters. Likewise, as suction pressure is lowered there is an increase in BHP/ton. Simply stated, less compressor capacity, as well as, increased power consumption are experienced.
