At a recent webinar, attendees learned how the U.K.’s third largest supermarket chain will transition its refrigeration systems away from high-GWP HFCs.
By employing a ventilation strategy such as a DOAS, conditioned fresh air can be brought into the building, thus improving IAQ and ensuring a safer environment.
As it looks like life in the U.S. may finally be returning to normal, it’s time to consider what the post-COVID world could hold in store for the HVAC industry.
With the federal government’s passage of the AIM Act last year, the phasedown of high-GWP HFCs in commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems is imminent.
This phasedown has been expected for a while, which is why OEMs have been working diligently to identify alternative refrigerants that are safe and efficient.
Chiller OEMs have been preparing for a refrigerant phasedown, and they are identifying alternative refrigerants that are efficient, safe, and cost-effective.
