EPA finalized SNAP Rule 25 and proposed SNAP Rule 26, both of which allow the use of A2L refrigerants in some new air conditioning and refrigeration equipment.

On this episode of the NEWSMakers podcast, Hannah Belloli, business development editor at The ACHR NEWS, is joined by Chemours’ Bobby Dean, research & development (R&D)/tech service engineer within the refrigerant team, and Jethro Medina, refrigeration R&D engineer.

At the FMI ES&D Conference, attendees learned about everything from new refrigeration technology to changing store formats to regulations that are requiring the phasedown of HFC refrigerants.

Danfoss Climate Solutions recently held an online event, where experts discussed CO₂ refrigeration systems, including the challenges and opportunities this natural refrigerant offers both food retailers and contractors.

The HVACR industry is in the process of transitioning away from HFCs such as R-410A to alternative refrigerants that are mildly flammable (A2L). Because of their flammable nature, these refrigerants are referred to in terms that may not be familiar to contractors and technicians.

As the HVACR industry transitions away from HFCs such as R-410A to alternative refrigerants that are mildly flammable (A2L), it is not surprising that those who will be handling – or teaching about -- these new products have a lot of questions.

This phasedown has been expected for a while, which is why OEMs have been working diligently to identify alternative refrigerants that are safe and efficient.

NASRC has released a report summarizing U.S. food retailer preferences for natural refrigerant-based condensing unit technologies.

Finding a replacement for R-410A has been challenging, but several alternatives have emerged as top contenders.

At many events, alternative refrigerants — many of which are either mildly flammable (A2L) or flammable (A3) — were top of mind.
