Results of the comparison made between total capacities of horizontal evaporator tube (HET) systems (Russian brand name GET systems) working on such refrigerants as carbon dioxide and ammonia has revealed that the total capacity of HET systems using carbon dioxide is always higher, against ammonia-based systems.

Key words: permafrost, HET, seasonal refrigeration system, refrigerant, ammonia, carbon dioxide
