RWC's successful design and implementation of the refrigeration system for Texas Frio's cold storage warehouse highlights the importance of innovation, technical expertise, and client-provider relationships in tackling unique industry challenges.

Food retailers are concerned over the HFC phasedown, noting that current alternative refrigerants have drawbacks, while others have not yet been fully evaluated.

Ongoing and evolving U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy (DOE) regulations have created a complex landscape for supermarket owners.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has delayed the effective date of certain amendments to its Risk Management Program (RMP) rule until Feb. 19, 2019.

Data center designers and managers who are looking for ways to reduce water usage and energy costs often find that traditional cooling technologies are not the answer.

The steps taken in the first 30 minutes of a leak at an ammonia refrigeration facility can make the difference between containment and catastrophe.

Although there may be a temptation to simply treat A2L refrigerants as equivalent to ammonia with respect to flammability hazard, ammonia really is an entity unto itself. Like an A2L, it exhibits a low-flame velocity in flammability tests, but ammonia has the unique safety advantage of a strong and unmistakable odor that is typically present long before the onset of a flammability hazard. All of the current A2L refrigerants, on the other hand, are odorless.

R-32 is an HFC refrigerant that has a GWP of 675 over the 100-year duration period by which refrigerants are rated.
