The Gold winner reduces the on-site service call time required to service refrigeration equipment by providing a simple solution that would utilize smartphone and tablet technology to diagnose issues quickly and determine if corrective actions provided resolution for the problems.
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.
Portable cooling systems work well as temporary solutions and can also serve as long-term options for unconditioned spaces like factories and warehouses.
Manufacturers are offering low-GWP refrigerant alternatives, as EPA is proposing a 700 GWP limit for most new comfort cooling chillers starting in 2025.
The rapid expansion of data centers has raised concerns about their massive energy use and carbon footprint. However, adopting sustainable HVAC solutions can reduce a data center’s environmental impact and energy consumption.
There are numerous federal regulations, state building codes, and safety standards that are supporting the transition to low-GWP refrigerants. Copeland recently outlined some of these issues in a webinar.
HVACR systems consume a significant amount of energy, which leads to increased carbon emissions. Manufacturers have found that the variable-speed compressor may be the solution to this problem.
The annual commercial cooling showcase highlights state-of-the-art equipment that often incorporates service-friendly features for contractors, as well as energy efficiency and comfort for end users.
