Catastrophic compressor failure...need info

[aawood1]

Indeed a sad day.
Surprisingly there are new systems being installed.
It's slow I know.
But if only more people would learn how Good and energy efficient Ammonia is!
I suspect there would be more.
(Good point about the ice build up on liquid pumps-been there myself, many times).
20 tons Imperial! Thats a fair sized system.
Cheers Grizzly

Hi Grizzly, As you say a sad day for this one but's it's being replaced with a new plant rated at 1.2 mega wats system with a smaller Ammonia charge some where around 4.5 tons. On the connections in to the old freezer headers we had around 400 to 600mm of ice build up along the empty new pipe work and upto 20 mm thick in only 14 days on the wet return's.
