Ammonia Refrigeration Systems and Anhydrator Vessels

Anhydrous means lack of water, unfortunately ammonia is hydroscopic which means it loves water. Water can get in an ammonia system approximately six different ways and should be removed for several reasons. If more information on how it comes in and how to remove please see this post.
An anhydrator vessel is simply a batch process subcooler. If systems are pipe accordingly, they can also act as an oil still and/or a pump out accumulator. We hope you enjoy today’s R-717 Video Tip of the Day presented by Jeremy Williams and brought to you by Garden City Ammonia Program
