At the highly acclaimed 1st IIR International Conference on the Cold Chain and Sustainability, Star Refrigeration presented a unique insight into the application of ammonia heat pumps.

The first example related to the "World's largest natural heat pump for district heating", a project being commissioned for the town of Drammen in Norway. Working in partnership with Norwegian cooling specialists, Norsk Kulde, Star have devised a system that uses no R134a, instead using natural refrigerant R717. In addition, the system is expected to require 15% less electrical energy, further enhancing the environmental performance of this world leading solution.
