The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Technology Institute
will lead a research project to characterize the heat-transfer and pressure-drop performance of new low-GWP refrigerants.
With the phasedown of HFCs, there will be a greater demand for reclaimed refrigerants. The problem is, the amount of reclaimed refrigerant being produced is inadequate to meet those demands.
Elastocaloric cooling technology developed by University of Maryland researchers is environmentally friendly and could represent the next generation of cooling equipment.
As the phasedown of HFCs continues, contractors must remain vigilant against illegal activity and take steps to ensure they are using legal refrigerants.
When it comes to helping retailers meet supermarket sustainability targets, Copeland has developed a variety of tools and capabilities along their paths to Net Zero.
As more retailers set short- and long-term sustainability targets, many are evaluating opportunities to reduce their carbon footprints while earning a return on investment (ROI).
