Refrigeration contractor, Bryan Orr, and his brother, Nathan, talk about some of the major differences between servicing air conditioning and refrigeration equipment.
The topic of new refrigerants was of interest at the National HVACR Educators and Trainers Conference, given the impending phasedown of HFC refrigerants like R-410A.
Manufacturers have created a number of low-GWP solutions that are designed to have similar (or better) efficiencies and capacities than the refrigerants they are intended to replace.
This is shaping up to be a pivotal year in terms of refrigerant regulations, and keeping up with the developments will be crucial for HVACR contractors.
