Tool is designed to help retailers transition to lower-GWP refrigerant alternatives
Emerson has launched a refrigerant calculator designed to help retailers forecast the impacts of phasing down higher-global-warming potential (GWP) systems and phasing in new refrigerant architectures.
According to Emerson, the web-based app helps a decision maker forecast the life cycle climate performance (LCCP) of a franchise or store based on preferred refrigeration architectures as well as preferred refrigerants. By inputting key information about current and proposed system architectures, an end user can calculate the phase down impacts and download charts that will help demonstrate those impacts. Input information includes store design temperatures, store counts of current and future architectures, leak rates and refrigerant choice.
