Ensuring Safety and Compliance with ASHRAE 15 and IIAR Standards: Northstar Refrigeration Leads the Way 

Written by Ed Rice

At Northstar Refrigeration, we pride ourselves on our commitment to safety, efficiency, and compliance in all our refrigeration systems. Our expertise in both ASHRAE 15 and IIAR standards ensures that your refrigeration systems are not only efficient but also safe and compliant with industry regulations. 

Understanding ASHRAE 15 

ASHRAE 15 is a crucial standard established by the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE). It outlines safety requirements for the design, installation, and operation of refrigeration systems. ASHRAE 15's main goal is to protect health and property by minimizing hazards such as toxic, flammable, or explosive incidents. 

The Importance of IIAR Standards for Ammonia 

The International Institute of Ammonia Refrigeration (IIAR) sets standards specifically for ammonia refrigeration systems. Ammonia is a highly efficient and environmentally friendly refrigerant, but it requires careful handling due to its potential hazards. IIAR standards provide comprehensive guidelines for the safe design, installation, operation, and maintenance of ammonia refrigeration systems.
