Advanced ammonia refrigeration for a brewery with an old tradition
Ammonia (NH3) is a classic and environmentally friendly refrigerant. The brewery Vereins-brauerei Greiz, in the Vogtland region of Thuringia (Germany), decided to once again install NH3 piston-compressor technology when modernizing its central refrigeration system. When the area belonged to former East Germany, the Greiz brewery had already operated for many years with traditional ammonia piston compressors, which proved their reliability in around 40 years of service.
