As vice president of sales and customer care, Frank Fuller will develop and execute a commercial strategy to achieve not only sales growth but to expand new business opportunities as well.
Essentially, I noted that changing demographics, new technologies, and evolving regulations may result in wider acceptance of self-contained refrigeration units that utilize propane. Several readers took issue with this, noting that central rack refrigeration systems — which are traditionally used in supermarkets around the U.S. — are not going anywhere and that propane units have too many drawbacks to ever seriously be considered for large-scale use.
The higher the inlet water temperature, the more sensible heat must be removed from the water and the longer the freeze cycle. The latent heat removed causes the water to change state, thus producing ice.
At the symposium, industry experts from Danfoss, refrigeration OEMs, end users, regulators, advocacy groups, and refrigerant producers came together to discuss some of the challenges facing the industry, as well as new technologies and megatrends that will impact every aspect of the commercial refrigeration market.
To obtain the heat content (enthalpy), it would be necessary to know both the pressure and temperature at this point and then use a thermal dynamic superheat table for this specific refrigerant.
In 1919, the Penn brothers co-founded the Penn Electric Machine Company in Des Moines, Iowa. Its first product was the innovative Type S pressure switch, which Albert developed to automatically operate electric motor-driven water pumps.
As vice president of sales & customer care, Keith Funke will lead the development and execution of Nor-Lake’s commercial sales growth and new business opportunities.
The primary question being asked in the proposed rule, Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Revisions to the Refrigerant Management Program’s Extension to Substitutes, is whether or not the EPA has the authority to regulate anything beyond ozone-depleting substances (ODS).
In October, the Supreme Court decided not to review the case, leaving in place the 2017 ruling, which means for now, the use of high-GWP refrigerants, such as R-404A and R-410A, remains legal.
If finalized as proposed, the revised Refrigerant Management rule would, among other things, rescind the leak repair and maintenance requirements for substitute refrigerants.
