First and foremost, I believe natural world, is the low-charge ammonia system that is just about refrigerant HVAC&R technology is the best replacement for installed on the rooftop of a 248,000-square-foot Baker Cold halocarbon refrigerant systems that harm the ozone layer and/or Storage warehouse in Long Beach, Calif. (page 42). This system, contribute significantly to global warming. which is being managed by another cold-storage operator, Lineage Logistics, comprises no less than 46 NXTCOLD low- But another very exciting aspect of this industry is the almost charge units, which will serve applications ranging from cold non-stop development of innovative natural refrigerant systems storage and blast freezers to railroad/truck docks and produce that are disrupting the marketplace and offering a myriad of new repacking. Rather than the 22,000 lbs. of ammonia originally options to end users. slated for this building, the system contains just 496 pounds for 1,015 TR. In this issue, we have several examples of eye-catching innovation. For example, our cover story (page 32) tells the story Also in this issue we have articles on two refrigeration systems of JTM Corp., a Piggly Wiggly franchise operator, that installed that have yet to hit the marketplace.
