AI-driven data center growth is reshaping cooling strategies, driving adoption of lower-GWP refrigerants as manufacturers develop solutions that balance efficiency, sustainability, and reliability. 

The shift to low-GWP refrigerants is raising the stakes on vendor oversight, making compliance documentation more important than ever for HVACR contractors.

The analog gauge sets are built for HVACR system diagnostics, refrigerant recovery, pressure testing, and charging. 

More organizations have piled on, asking the Supreme Court to take a look at a case that could limit how much power Congress can delegate to the EPA. 

The shift to lower-GWP refrigerants in commercial refrigeration is accelerating, with food retailers adopting diverse options including R-290, A2L systems, and CO₂ solutions for various store formats.  

R-290 isn’t hard to handle — but it does require a different mindset. The key to working safely? Understanding what’s different and adjusting accordingly.  

These patented HFO refrigerant blends are two of the leading alternative refrigerants used in accordance with the AIM Act when replacing higher GWP HFC refrigerants with lower GWP HFO refrigerants in the supermarket segment.

New refrigerants are changing refrigeration system design, requiring careful tradeoffs between efficiency, safety, and performance across different climates and applications. 

NASRC’s new event focuses on CO₂ RCUs — an emerging solution gaining traction in smaller-format applications.
