When we come to the last publication of the year, we usually look back on what has happened during the year, with a focus on the transition to new environmentally friendly refrigerants. The following ...
"Refrigerants with low Global Warming Potential" is the title of the project carried out within Effsys Expand research program and supported by the Energy Agency together with a number of companies. ...
The current EU regulations already address the environmental impact of refrigeration systems by replacing high GWP refrigerants with low-to-zero GWP refrigerants. Recent studies, however, show that th...
The conference focusing on natural refrigerants was recently held in Valencia, Spain. An indication of the growing interest in natural refrigerants is that the conference attracted record numbers of p...
We have recently attended the international conference ICCC2018 on cold chain and annual refrigeration exhibition CRH2018 in China. In this article we share the main impressions with focus on refriger...
High GWP refrigerants are replaced by lower GWP alternatives on the European market. This is due to the reduced quotas (measured in CO2 equivalents), and increased demand (measured in kg). While the c...
The amount of the fluoridated gases, including synthetic refrigerants, should be significantly reduced during this year. This is requirement of the F-gas regulation that is known for years already. Wi...
The Swedish refrigeration industry is in a transition phase to new refrigerants and refrigeration systems. In this article we will highlight the most relevant events that occurred in 2017, which will ...
You are certainly aware of the so called F-gas regulation and its effect it already has on refrigeration industry. In this article we review which F-gases are regulated by the F-gas regulation. But fo...
The reduction of fluorinated gases (F-gases) emissions is agreed in entire world and in the EU there are strong requirements for such reduction within F-gas regulation. From the beginning of 2018 the ...
