So what can you do with natural refrigerants and where can you do it? That formed the basis of case studies presented at the second Atmosphere America Natural Refrigerants Conference in Washington, D.C.
The summer event came amidst a tightening regulatory landscape especially in Europe with regards to the familiar f-gas synthetic refrigerants. But for this conference, the current drive for naturals comes, first, in showing that they can work in refrigeration applications most commonly cooled by f-gases such as HCFCs and HFCs; and, second, that the natural option can be less costly.
