Happy R717 Day!
For more than 150 years, ammonia (R717) has been a trusted refrigerant for industrial refrigeration. With a GWP of 0, an ODP of 0, and excellent thermodynamic properties, it remains the refrigerant of choice for many industrial refrigeration systems, including food processing, cold storage, ice rinks, and industrial facilities. Today we celebrate the refrigerant that has powered industrial refrigeration for generations, and the people who continue to innovate with it every day.
At Mayekawa USA, we're proud to utilize R717 in many of our MYCOM compressors, packaged refrigeration systems, heat pumps, and decades of engineering expertise. By combining proven ammonia technology with innovative system design, we help customers improve efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and build refrigeration systems designed for long-term performance.
