Optimizing refrigerant charge has always been a key part of designing cooling systems and balancing their efficiency, reliability, performance, and cost. But recently, that balance has shifted, and ...

In some respects, servicing today’s refrigeration systems is no more complicated than it ever has been. What has changed, however, is the need to understand the differences in the newer refrigerant ...

This allows OEMs to meet EN 378 and IEC 60335-2-40 charge limits while maintaining high thermal performance - a critical factor for expanding the viable capacity range of R290 heat pump and chiller ...

Driven by the pressing need for environmental responsibility and sustainability, cooling technologies are rapidly evolving.

As useful as refrigerators and air conditioners are, the gases they use as refrigerants can leak into the atmosphere and become major contributors to climate change. Now engineers at Harvard have ...

“I'm being told that home air conditioning freon will no longer be sold after the current supply runs out in the USA. This will force homeowners to install all new furnaces and condensers. Is this ...

Following discussions alerting the industry to potential supply shortages of HFC-based refrigerants during its HVACR Next ...
