4. Company’s projects with Natural Refrigerants in China
• Hansen’s solutions are procured by Ammonia and CO2 OEMs as well as
recreational and food storage end user facilities because of our
commitment to quality, safety and innovation
• Thousands of Hansen valves are installed each year in ammonia and
CO2 facilities.
• Hansen purgers, recognized as best in class in the industry because of its
energy optimization capabilities, have been installed in more than 700
end user facilities in China
• Global customers with presence in China include Cargill, Tyson, Swire
Cold storage, Wall’s, Rich’s Food, Nestle, and many others
An innovative company committed to high quality and safety standards

7. Company’s view on the current state of ammonia use in China
• We believe that there is a huge potential for ammonia to be used in industrial
refrigeration
– Ammonia is highly regulated and limited since the accidents of 2013
– Most projects cannot get approval from the local government.
– Ammonia has challenges with regulatory compliance.
• Design guidelines in China such as Ammonia Piping Handbook could include more
details to help avoid faulty designs, oversizing and low efficiency.
– There is a need for more periodicals, bulletins and training videos
• Pipes, valves and components of aged systems have very high corrosion and as such
its very difficult to guarantee a continued SAFE operation.
All safety incidents are preventable
8. Company’s view on the current state of ammonia use in China
• Many ammonia systems are highly inefficient due to the presence of water and air
• Some ammonia systems are still operated manually until now
• Over the years we have observed a trend for ammonia systems to be oversized or
overcharged
• Low charge and ammonia DX at low and medium temperatures is still new China.
• Low charge and ammonia Dx can reduce initial cost and provide higher efficacy
versus traditional overfeed system.
There is an opportunity to upgrade the industrial refrigeration infrastructure in China by
adopting innovative solutions and developing more skilled industry engineers and
technicians

11. Company’s suggestions for promoting safe and proper use of ammonia in
China
• Process Safety Management & Risk Management Program guidelines should be
introduced to China
• System efficiency should always be a consideration during the design phase
• Adopt cloud based design and sizing solutions available now
• Develop corrosion prevention and removal service schedules within facilities
• Implement controls and automation to gradually move away from manual
operation of facilities
• Suppliers should collaborate to promote new technologies such as Ammonia Dx
and low charge to the market.
Great opportunity to improve safety, system efficiency and lower TCO for facilities
12. Company’s current activities promoting safe and proper use of ammonia
in China
• Safety and Quality are core values for Hansen and as such we only provide high
quality products, individually inspected and tested
• We have been continuously promoting low charge ammonia systems
• We have partnered to provide resources relevant to this technology Colmac Coil,
Republic Refrigeration and others.
• We continue to invest to introduce IIAR resources to China.
• We have facilitated hundreds of technical papers and industry books to our
customers.
• We foster the development of highly qualified professionals for the industry.
• We are phasing out products to refrigeration systems that DO NOT use natural
refrigerants
Our commitment to safety, quality and innovation is in alignment with the future of
Ammonia systems in China
