The NSF is providing a grant to six universities, which will work together to create sustainable refrigerant technologies.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently announced a final rule that focuses on reducing HFC leaks and maximizing refrigerant reclamation.

RDSs are generally required in A2L systems that contain more than 4 pounds of refrigerant and can either be field or factory-installed, depending on the manufacturer.

Without the ductwork found in traditional systems, ductless mini splits rely on advanced filtration, aftermarket accessories, and regular maintenance to maintain optimal indoor air quality.

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

The DOE's new Rooftop Accelerator program encourages manufacturers to develop efficient commercial rooftop heat pumps for cold climates, which could reduce GHG emissions and energy costs by up to 50%.

A New Hampshire grocer installed the innovative FlexCube refrigeration system, a modular technology using the A2L refrigerant R-454C, in his new store.

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.

The winner is a kit that is a universal, field-mount refrigeration controller with temperature sensors and pressure transducer kit that can be installed up to 40 feet from an air or electric defrost unit cooler.
