Commercial refrigeration

The 2016 editions of ASHRAE’s major refrigerants-related standards have been published as a package with 30 new refrigerants and refrigerant blends added.

The Italian manufacturer’s new cooler is designed to improve the efficiency of CO₂ refrigeration systems.

Among the more than 75 educational sessions, many are related to natural refrigerant technologies.

The first round of case studies showcasing innovations for industry leaders has been selected for ATMOsphere Japan 2017.

Export association Asocolflores replaces R22-based system with R290 in a cold storage facility for flowers, achieving energy savings of 20%.

Didier Coulomb, director-general of the International Institute of Refrigeration (IIR), argued at COP 22 that the refrigeration and air-conditioning sector can play a greater role in addressing climate change.

The outdoor plug-and-play unit, which contains 12 l of R290, is designed for small stores.

Store cuts energy consumption by 33% and saves $74,640 over 13-month period, thanks to cascade system and other improvements.

The Japanese multinatonal will offer a 10 HP system to the commercial refrigeration sector next April.

The Fire Protection Research Foundation wants to evaluate the fire hazard posed by flammable refrigerants as a pathway to raising their charge limit.

CO₂ Academy is the natural choice for training in transcritical CO₂ technology. As a technicians it is not only essential to understand the technical aspects of CO₂ technology, but also to acquire the relevant communication skills.

The EPA’s SNAP program will allow propane for ice machines, water coolers and very low-temperature equipment.

A number of common refrigerants, including R134a, R410A and R407C, will be banned from use in new chillers in the USA from January 1, 2024.

The EU’s ‘Winter Package’ of climate legislation, tabled yesterday, proposes to increase energy efficiency by 30% by 2030 in an effort to cut emissions and meet Europe’s obligations laid out in the Paris Agreement.

The North American Sustainable Retail Council (NASRC), together with U.S. member company DC Engineering, has published an online guide to transcritical CO₂ refrigeration systems.

The Ammonia Piping Handbook serves as a guide for the design and implementation of Colmac Coil’s DX ammonia refrigeration system.

A San Francisco store with the CO₂ technology will open in March.

The Italian company sees CO₂ systems becoming more affordable in emerging market economies with hot climates.

Climate change, greenhouse effect and global warming – scarcely any other issue is so omnipresent and so controversially discussed in the 21st century. Those who are convinced in doubting that climate change is man-made refer to various eras in the history of our planet where the earth has heated up or cooled down drastically even without any contribution on our part. In future too, they see climate change as the result of natural causes, including among others a changed ellipsoid orbit of the earth around the sun.
