“To South African industry role
players, there are very real potential
gains should you consider other global
application successes with R290 as
refrigerant,” he said. “The local HVAC&R
sector is considered to be playing a
leading role globally when it comes to
the application of new technologies
and this is one more area for the SA
sector to develop offerings for other
users and operators globally. Many
concerns regarding the use of R290
were addressed during this lecture and
it will mean that many of our members
can now review the use of R290 with
greater confidence having seen the
widely accepted and successful
applications in other developing
economies.”
R290 LECTURE
The lecture spanned a vast number of
slides and Dr Hasse shared a great deal
of information, on R290 specifically, but
also climate change in the broader
sense, and the future of refrigerants
as well. He looked at typical R290
applications and real-life case studies,
touching on topics such as safety,
electrical savings, and even natural
refrigerants in chillers.
