Air - a natural refrigerant
Air refrigeration systems use ambient air as the refrigerant, offering a natural and environmentally friendly cooling solution. With growing environmental awareness and regulations such as the EU F-Gas Regulation, air cycle refrigeration technology is gaining increasing relevance. Air neither depletes the ozone layer nor contributes to global warming, making it a future-proof alternative to conventional refrigerants.
Ammonia – a natural refrigerant
Natural refrigerants such as ammonia, carbon dioxide or hydrocarbons have a firm place in industrial refrigeration. Ammonia is ecologically and economically sustainable. It contributes neither to ozone depletion nor to global warming and, unlike synthetic refrigerants, it is a universally available, efficient and inexpensive feedstock.

Secondary loop systems with natural refrigerants – Introduction
Secondary loop systems provide a safe, efficient, and flexible approach to cooling distribution, particularly with natural refrigerants. By separating the primary refrigerant circuit from the cooling distribution network, they reduce refrigerant charge, enhance safety, and simplify maintenance and expansion. Widely used in sectors like food processing, cold storage, and sports facilities, these systems offer enhanced energy efficiency, precise temperature control, and strong environmental performance.
Secondary loop systems with natural refrigerants - Different heat transfer fluids in secondary loop systems
A wide range of water-based heat transfer fluids (HTFs) is used in indirect refrigeration systems with natural refrigerants. This paper offers a comprehensive overview of key HTF families, focusing on their thermophysical properties, environmental impact, compatibility, and safety considerations. Designed as a practical guide, it supports planners and engineers choose suitable HTFs based on system design, operating temperature range, and application-specific requirements.
