Conference Focuses on Natural Refrigerant Trends, Issues, Regulations
WASHINGTON — Danfoss recently sponsored and participated in ATMOsphere America 2013, a conference which discussed natural refrigerant trends, latest technologies, and regulatory issues in the U.S. and Canada.
During the conference, Robert Wilkins, vice president, public affairs for Danfoss, moderated a panel on refrigerant regulatory issues and standards. Panelists included representatives from the U.S. Department of State, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Underwriters Laboratories (UL), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
“On a global stage, with the recent announcement that the U.S. and China have committed to work together and with other countries to use the expertise and institutions of the Montreal Protocol, we’re possibly on the verge of an unprecedented agreement to phase down the consumption and production of HFCs,” said Wilkins in his introductory remarks.
