INCORPORATING COLD CHAIN
ASHRAE’s refrigeration
page now online
A
SHRAE has announced the
launch of a webpage to
encourage the advancement
of refrigeration technology and its
application throughout the industry
and beyond.
The new Refrigeration webpage,
referred to as the “R” in ASHRAE,
highlights the Society’s commitment
to supporting the role of refrigeration
worldwide. The webpage features
resources, information and publications
concerning refrigeration and refrigerants
such as standards, design guides, ASHRAE
courses and more.
During her term, 2018 to 2019 ASHRAE
President Sheila J Hayter, appointed
ASHRAE region IX director and regional
chair, Trent Hunt, to oversee a board
task group on refrigeration. One of the
primary outcomes of this task group was
the release of the refrigeration page.
“ASHRAE has a longstanding history
of supporting refrigeration research
and technology,” says Hayter. “This
page incorporates ASHRAE’s past in
refrigeration, while keeping visitors
abreast of our current objectives and
leads the conservation of the future
of refrigeration. We are confident that
this page will be a powerful resource to
industry professionals and the general
public alike.”
Additional features of the webpage
include:
• ASHRAE-endorsed conferences and
events covering refrigeration and
refrigerants.
• Refrigerant designations.
• Interviews with members in the field
of refrigeration.
• Research and news on refrigeration-
related topics.
Recently, ASHRAE and the International
Institute of Refrigeration (IIR) announced
the establishment of new definitions
for five refrigeration keywords, further
emphasising the importance of the
refrigeration process to the health,
comfort, and welfare of humanity. CLA
