01

Refrigerant Ammonia CO2 Propane Water (Glycol)

Symbol NH3 / R717 CO2 / R744 R290 H2O / R718

GWP 0 1 3 0 (Water)
Density (0 °C) 638.6 kg/m3 927.4 kg/m3 528.7 kg/m3 999.7 kg/m3
Spec. Heat (0 °C) 4.616 kJ/kgK 2.542 kJ/kgK 2.503 kJ/kgK 4.195 kJ/kgK

Advantages § High efficiency § Low global warming potential § Good thermodynamic § Environmental friendly
§ High boiling point § No contamination of goods properties § Cheap
§ Low overall pressure in case of contact § Similar to HFCs in regards § Availability
requirements § Low pressure / of design and pressure
§ Low-cost medium compression ratio § High boiling point
§ Low-cost medium
Disadvantages § Toxic § High pressure refrigerant § Highly flammable § Low vapor pressure
§ Flammable § High installation costs § Explosion proof design § High operating costs
§ Chemical reaction with § Operating conditions can be may be required for compressors
copper and Cu-alloys close to critical (triple) point § High installation costs § Larger space
§ Higher installation costs requirement

COMPARISON OF PUMP TYPES – FOR NATURAL REFRIGERANTS
02
Pumps with double mechanical seals
Benefits + Low initial costs (without installation)
+ Inexpensive, fast exchangeability
of hydraulics / motor
+ Lowest heat input into liquid
(no motor cooling)
Disad- - Pump with highest risk for leaks
vantages - Highest maintenance cost and efforts
- Frequent maintenance cycles
- Largest footprint
- High installation cost
6
Magnetic coupled pumps Canned motor pumps
+ External motor is cheap + Maximum safety (secondary
+ Inexpensive, fast exchangeability containment)
of hydraulics / motor + Lowest LCC
+ Increased safety + Compact design
+ Easiest installation
+ Lowest maintenance cost
- Initial costs and lifecycle costs are between - Highest initial costs for pump
seal and canned motor pumps - Performance losses through can
- Maintenance interval range between - Liquid cooling adds heat to the process
seal and CMP
- Performance drop due to many interfaces
- Liquid cooling adds heat to the process

SAFETY – ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY 7

02

Canned motor pumps are used in

§ High risk applications – danger for

people, installation and environment
Canned motor pump
§ High temperature applications
§ High differential or system pressures
Magnetic coupled pump

2. Containment for total safety against

Centrifugal Pumps with double
medium leakage mechanical seal

LIFE CYCLE COSTS 8

02

§ Maintenance and Repair are responsible for 30%
of total costs
§ Avoid and reduce these costs by choosing equipment
with a longer MTBF time
§ Reduce and avoid wear parts and sources for errors
§ The main causes of repairs are mechanical seals and bearings.
§ The need for repairs is minimized by eliminating mechanical
seals and liquid-lubricated bearings.
