Events and Exhibitions
Ammonia systems are already used widely while CO 2 systems are seeing increased deployment and even the use of propane is experiencing a fast shift in commercial applications as well as use in AC systems . For retail applications self-contained display fridges and freezers using this refrigerant are already out in the market in their thousands and for quite some time .
Several conversations surfaced at the event around leapfrogging certain refrigerant replacements directly to natural refrigerants as technology and system capabilities are moving at such a rapid pace . Also of concern is the trajectory of the country ’ s phase-out of harmful refrigerants with high ozone depleting substances ( ODS ) and global warming potential ( GWP ).
