At the AHR Expo this year, Chemours highlighted its 90+-year journey of refrigerant innovation, starting with Freon and building up to the Chemours Opteon portfolio.

The refrigerant transition has caused concern among HVAC contractors who wonder whether it is safe to work with mildly flammable refrigerants.

With the phaseout of HCFC refrigerants and the impending phasedown of HFCs, food retailers are looking at lower-GWP solutions for their refrigeration equipment.

The U.S. will have a few steep production cuts — the first one coming in 2024 — but industry experts say that the country is in a better position to handle them.

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.

The Gem City Market will feature the first refrigeration system of its kind in the United States.

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.

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

The HVACR industry will likely soon be in the midst of another refrigerant change, which is causing a bit of unease amongst some.
