Fieldpiece Instruments has introduced the SCL2, a new hand-held carbon dioxide (R-744) leak detector that’s designed to be responsive, economical, easy-to-use, and easy-to-handle.

Emerson Climate Technologies Inc. will host a webinar, “Seven Keys to Servicing CO₂ Systems,” to explore the many operating implications of a CO₂ (R-744)-based refrigeration system. The complimentary webinar will be held Tuesday, July 14, from 2 to 3 p.m. EDT.

The road to natural refrigerants is a rocky one. There is much talk, but not a lot of action. However, this sector is certainly expanding. 

New refrigerated equipment is being designed to run on so-called natural refrigerants such as ammonia, hydrocarbons, and CO₂.
