ATLANTA – The eighth annual ATMOsphere America conference convened in Atlanta this June, with a program designed to educate attendees about how natural refrigerants such as CO2, ammonia, and propane can be viable alternatives for commercial refrigeration equipment. These refrigerants are considered to be ‘future proof,’ because they have extremely low GWPs, so end users would most likely not have to change their refrigeration equipment again in the future to comply with new regulations.
The conference offered many educational sessions and panel discussions that covered topics ranging from best practices to regulatory updates to the benefits and challenges of converting to natural refrigerants. The event provided the opportunity for contractors, manufacturers, and end users to come together to discuss how natural refrigerants can be used to help supermarkets and other food retailers comply with new state regulations while becoming more efficient and sustainable.
