In March, the EPA approved several low-GWP hydrocarbon refrigerants for use in refrigeration and air conditioning applications, subject to use conditions. The approval drew a mixture of reactions ranging from support to concern.

He acknowledges the proposed compliance requirements are not feasible and would cause considerable harm, result in economic job losses, and may increase — not decrease — risks to the American public. Whitfield said this opinion was the consensus of the most affected industries, including the air conditioning and refrigeration sectors.

ECOSS was developed for cooling solutions in the energy and process cooling sector as well as industrial refrigeration and HVAC applications. 

Standex International Corp. has announced the reorganization of its Standex Refrigerated Solutions Group with several promotions.

The Testo 549 Digital Manifold AC/Refrigeration System Analyzer fulfills many of the daily requirements in refrigeration contracting. 

The Integrated Icemaker will produce up to 425 pounds of ice over a 24-hour period with more than 90 pounds of storage. 

If 30 percent of hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants are reclaimed for reuse by 2040, approximately 18 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent would be prevented from reaching the atmosphere over the next 25 years, according to a white paper released by EOS Climate.

In medium- and low-temperature refrigeration applications, 1 hp is hardly ever equal to 1 ton of refrigeration. Let’s review a few principles to illustrate this point.

A refrigeration system can be a major draw on electrical energy, so it can be a real benefit when a technician also can make sure the system is operating efficiently. 

These larger refrigeration systems present tremendous opportunities for energy-efficiency improvements that can lead to significant operational savings.
