Speaking at the 8th Global Conference of the International Energy Agency (IEA) in France, Kim Fausing, President of the Danish company Danfoss, said that governments of all countries need to strengthen energy efficiency policies as a key tool to contain energy demand, strengthen energy security and mitigate the impact of change climate. Fausing talked about the progress over the past year. He noted the importance of actions to improve energy efficiency in the coming years.

Johnson Controls has announced the launch of its York YVAM air-cooled magnetic bearing centrifugal chiller with low GWP refrigerant R1234ze for hyperscale and colocation data centre cooling.

Frascold and Arneg combine their technical skills and experience to create a propane chiller, designed to keep products fresh and for conditioning characterised by normal temperatures. A solution that arose from the desire to expand the use of natural gases by offering a valid and simple alternative to transcritical CO₂ systems.

The YORK YVFA Free-Cooling, Variable-Speed Screw Chiller is the first free-cooling screw chiller in the U.S. to use R-1234ze, a refrigerant with ultra-low global warming potential.

Daikin has is releasing a new range of air-cooled scroll chillers featuring refrigerant R-32. This new series is the second generation of Daikin R-32 chillers, a range of products that set a new standard for energy efficiency and environmental responsibility in the HVAC industry in 2018 when they were first launched. The new Series is now available in both standard cooling only version (EWAT-B-C) and hydronic free cooling version (EWFT-B-C).
