Next-generation ZE refrigerant blends offer customized performance that is tailored to the application, while helping support the push for decarbonization.

HVAC manufacturers are prepared for the refrigerant transition to A2Ls but are finding that there is still strong demand for R-410A equipment.

With the ongoing HFC phasedown, strong refrigerant management strategies are crucial to ensuring compliance, environmental responsibility, and business growth.

The transition to A2L refrigerants will offer benefits to the environment, as well as business challenges for HVACR OEMs, distributors, and contractors.

Although CO₂ systems may seem a bit more complicated than HFC DX systems, they are actually quite similar, with the main difference being CO2’s higher pressure.

Copeland’s André Patenaude discusses the new technologies designed for refrigerants such as CO₂, A3, and A2L – and how HVACR contractors can help their food retail customers prepare for a low-GWP future.

Santander ice arena recently upgraded its R-22 refrigeration system to CO₂, which is a more sustainable option.

As energy costs rise and new strict environmental standards push renewable energy, professionals need to be ready to adapt to new technologies and techniques.

With new regulations come new consequences for those who attempt to circumvent the rules surrounding high-GWP refrigerants.

EPA is revisiting a rule that would allow R-410A condensing units to be manufactured indefinitely to service existing equipment.
