At the AHR Expo, manufacturers talked about their plans for switching to low-GWP refrigerants for commercial refrigeration equipment and displayed some of their solutions.

In response to the AIM Act, Hensley Beverage chose to install new refrigeration equipment that uses the A2L refrigerant, R-454C.

Chemours has launched a global F-gas Lifecycle Program that is designed to promote the safe global recovery, reclamation, and reuse of fluorinated gases (F-gases).

The U.S. Department of Commerce is investigating whether Chinese HFCs are circumventing the 2016 antidumping duty order on HFC blends.

As the phasedown of HFCs continues, contractors must remain vigilant against illegal activity and take steps to ensure they are using legal refrigerants.

The winners of the 2023 AHR Expo Innovation Awards have been announced and they include products that can be used in just about every sector of the HVACR industry.

At the AHR Expo this year, Chemours highlighted its 90+-year journey of refrigerant innovation, starting with Freon and building up to the Chemours Opteon portfolio.

The refrigerant transition has caused concern among HVAC contractors who wonder whether it is safe to work with mildly flammable refrigerants.

With the phaseout of HCFC refrigerants and the impending phasedown of HFCs, food retailers are looking at lower-GWP solutions for their refrigeration equipment.

The U.S. will have a few steep production cuts — the first one coming in 2024 — but industry experts say that the country is in a better position to handle them.

The topic of new refrigerants was of interest at the National HVACR Educators and Trainers Conference, given the impending phasedown of HFC refrigerants like R-410A.

The Gem City Market will feature the first refrigeration system of its kind in the United States.

Manufacturers have created a number of low-GWP solutions that are designed to have similar (or better) efficiencies and capacities than the refrigerants they are intended to replace.

Finding a replacement for R-410A has been challenging, but several alternatives have emerged as top contenders.

The HVACR industry will likely soon be in the midst of another refrigerant change, which is causing a bit of unease amongst some.
