Most Efficient Gases: General Evaluation
Today, in most industrial applications, CO₂ (R-744) and Ammonia (R-717) are considered the most efficient gases. Both fluids stand out with their high cooling capacity, low energy consumption and environmentally friendly structure. In small and medium-sized commercial systems, R-290 (Propane) is the best alternative thanks to its high efficiency and low GWP (Global Warming Potential) value.
1. Featured High Efficiency Refrigerants
R-744 – CO₂ (Carbon Dioxide)
It is the new favorite of industrial systems. With a GWP value of 1, this natural refrigerant offers excellent COP (Coefficient of Performance) especially at low temperatures.
● Ideal Areas: Freezing – Rapid Freezing Systems, Controlled Atmosphere Storage, frozen food logistics.
● Advantage: No risk of fire, heat transfer capacity is outstanding.
R-717 – Ammonia (NH₃)
It is the "gold standard" of large-scale industrial facilities.
● Ideal Areas: Slaughterhouse Systems, Seafood Preservation, large scale Meat and Dairy Storage.
● Advantage: It is the natural fluid with the lowest operating cost and the highest efficiency.
R-290 – Propane
It is a natural gas that has revolutionized commercial refrigeration.
● Ideal Areas: Fruit Ripening Warehouses, Bakery Storage, small and medium-sized cold rooms.
● Advantage: Very high thermodynamic efficiency and quiet operating character.

3. Critical Criteria That Determine Efficiency
When choosing the right gas, the following parameters should be taken into account:
● COP (Coefficient of Performance): Cooling power received in return for the energy consumed.
● GWP (Global Warming Potential): Compliance with environmental regulations (F-Gas).
● Thermodynamic Efficiency: The speed and capacity of the gas to absorb heat.
