Ammonia is a colorless highly irritating gas with a sharp suffocating odor. It dissolves easily in water to form ammonium hydroxide solution which can cause irritation and burns. Ammonia gas is easily compressed and forms a clear, colorless liquid under pressure. It is usually shipped as a compressed liquid in steel cylinders. Ammonia is not highly flammable, but containers of ammonia may explode when exposed to high heat.
In some cases, 100 times that of CO2. These gases are controlled by legislation known as F Gas regulations thus placing strict limits on the use of these gases and the necessity to detect them. Ammonia has been used for over a century as refrigeration gas and has no global warming potential or effect on the ozone level.The drawback of Ammonia is that it is very toxic with a pungent odour and, in high concentrations, can be flammable. However, if the Ammonia can reach the food areas, low level of Ammonia detection is essential to prevent the large financial losses that can ensue from a leak no matter how small. 2  The plant room is always subject to small leaks due to moving equipment, valves and joints, so a background of Ammonia can be expected.
