Ammonia has a boiling point of -33.4 degrees Celsius, so why would it be less effective in a heating system?

When the refrigerant gains energy (heat), the system inside the fridge looses heat. In other words, as your refrigerant gains heat, your air is losing heat.

It could certainly be used in heating system if the medium to be heated is colder than -33.4 degrees. Ammonia vapor has too low specific heat, in comparison with water, at room temperature. On top of that water is cheap, readily available, safe and easy to handle.

how is ammonia made?
high temperature will cause ammonia to decompose
back into what two elements?
in a cooling system, they use pressure. But pressure is
good. use to make ammonia.
