    Marc
    LPA is a great concept the only down side I can see it that people fit it, but don't fully understand it, install it incorrectly and don't commission it properly, then condeme it because it doen't work properly
    It's hard to make anything fool proof maybe Hysave should have been a bit more selective in the US about who they allowed to fit their systems
    Kind Regards. Andy

    No MArc, it seems to be the ammonia guys who are the créme de la créme

    Well at least we are agreed on something
    just kidding. Nh3 is just another refrigerant, but a very good refrigerant if correctly applied. When quoting work I quote what ever refrigerant is competitive on the size of job I an working on, often R404a up to 200kW, but much above that NH3 is the most cost effective.

    Re: AKV versus TEV

    No, No, NO!!! You guys.... Here is an acceptable facility that warrants the use of the term, "Industrial Refrigeration"!

    Low stage....

    High Stage....

    To me, "Industrial" means open compressors, not semi-hermetics. ...Something with a little horsepower! (Or kW to you metrics...)

    In all fairness, I am being a bit myrth-filled here, and I meant this in jest. However, I am curious as to the actual definition of of "Industrial Refrigeration" as used here in this forum and in Europe. If you say "Industrial Refrigeration" here in North America, you typically are speaking of an ammonia system. "*****" (all the HFC, HCFC, etc.) systems just are not considered "industrial" in nature here. Can someone give me the scoop on what is "Industrial"?
