Anybody got any information / experience of operating large ammonia refrigeration plant.
We have had various sernarios written up - worst case incidents (major fire, pipe work ruptures etc.)

What I am looking for is peoples' experiences and opinions on an ammonia based refrigerant compared to CO2 or any of the current F-Gases.
