The future of refrigerants

Standards, safety and training will be more important than ever, whichever refrigerant you choose.

Things to know about refrigeration oils

Just like a refrigerant is essential for the cooling within a refrigeration system, the oil also has an essential part to play to ensure the compressor in the system functions correctly. Lubrication is one of the most important factors in whether a refrigeration installation works correctly.

Non-retail commercial refrigeration: Looking at the options available

Using theoretical cycle calculations and considering what current standards and regulations apply, Neil Roberts explores how different low GWP options compare and what is required for compliance with those standards and regulations.

How leak detection will support the F-Gas phase down

The current F-Gas Legislation with its phase down steps is on target to cut CO2 equivalents (tCO2e) for HFCs placed on the market by at least 79% by 2030. The overall aim is to reduce and contain refrigerant emissions by taking every step to adopt responsible refrigeration. More needs to be done to keep up with the phase down steps and refrigerant leak detection has an important part to play in meeting this target.

The F-Gas transformation - So far so good but we’re not past the halfway point yet!

From January 1st 2022 it will no longer be allowed to use a refrigerant with a GWP of 150 or more in new equipment for storage, display or dispensing of products, for sale to end users, in retail and food services, where the equipment is either a hermetically sealed refrigerator or freezer or a multipack centralised refrigeration systems with a rated capacity of 40 kW or more.
