New report finds that GHGs can be reduced significantly through the use of reclaimed refrigerant versus producing and using newly manufactured virgin refrigerant.
RDSs are generally required in A2L systems that contain more than 4 pounds of refrigerant and can either be field or factory-installed, depending on the manufacturer.
The award from the American Society of Association Executives (ASAE)
honors ACCA for its work in securing more time for HVAC contractors to install equipment that uses the refrigerant R-410A.
The HVAC industry is facing changes as of January 1, 2025, which is when the manufacture of R-410A equipment ends and California implements its ban on high-GWP refrigerants.
The product classification changes are aimed at helping consumers better understand Trane’s new models as it begins converting most of its new residential products to enable them to use R-454B refrigerant rather than R-410A.
