Russian retailer Magnit opened a new supermarket featuring a CO₂ transcritical refrigeration system manufactured and installed by NORD-SM with UNIDO technical support.

The book Refrigeration – Solved Examples is intended as a reference book for practicing engineers who would appreciate having a summary of useful formulae made available to them. It should serve as useful supplementary reading to students at various academic levels, lecturers and research workers.

Heat exchanger, tied to the U-Turn NH₃ separator, to serve growing market for cascade systems.

Facility managers count on efficient, safe refrigerant solutions to provide cost-effective comfort to building occupants. Today, future refrigerant options are being discussed. Alternative refrigerants are under development; a few are already on the market. With an upcoming refrigerant transition, now is the time for facility managers to learn about what’s changing and why. Facility managers who educate themselves now will be in a better position to make the best equipment choices in the future based on refrigerant safety, efficiency, reliability, cost, and availability.

I was going to call this post “Playing With Fire” but didn’t for obvious reasons. Anyways, in my last post we saw how CO₂ (R744) can be used in both a traditional sub-critical as well as in trans-critical cycles which operate almost backwards to each other. Also, when I typed in trans-critical without the hyphen, Spell Wreck asked me if I meant to type ‘transatlantic’ instead. Um no, but it did remind me of a little bit of history to touch on before we move onto R290. I apologize for the digression but I think you will find it interesting.

The association representing the refrigeration and air conditioning trade in Spain has called for a repeal of the country’s tax on HFCs.

The growing popularity of “natural” refrigerants has prompted A-Gas to add ammonia to its UK product range.

Researchers working for the Montreal Protocol-funded PRAHA project found that R290 air-conditioning has a higher cooling capacity and is more energy efficient than HFCs.

This short guide provides a brief summary of what to expect if your business/premises is selected for an Inspection by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS) and Fluorinated Greenhouse Gas (F-Gas) Regulations.

His campaign statements suggest the EPA’s HFC restrictions could be slowed down, impacting CO₂ uptake, but industry support of the Kigali Amendment could make HFCs a low priority.

Recent changes to the US EPA’s SNAP programme, which will see the phase-out of certain HFCs, will be explained by Emerson in a free webinar later this month.

Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, 10 November 2016 – Heads of national refrigeration assocations and Montreal Protocol focal points from 11 Central Asian and Caucasus countries enhance ozone layer protection and sustainable management of climate gases: The experts shared highlights, challenges and lessons learnt from the implementation of their respective hydrochlorofluoro carbon (HCFC) phase-out strategies and from the surveys on ozone-friendly alternatives during the thematic meeting in Chisinau, Republic of Moldova, 8-10 November 2016.

This Information Sheet is aimed at individuals and organisations that carry out F-Gas handling operations related to stationary refrigeration, air-conditioning and heat pumps (RACHP) and refrigerated trucks and trailers (RTT). For mobile air-conditioning applications the requirements are different.

Hydrocarbons are expected to replace HFCs R404A and R134a in beer fridges the world over.

The Building Engineering Services Association (BESA) is to offer F-gas certification following the CITB announcement that it is to drop its F-gas scheme.

The Swedish transcritical CO₂ supplier sees the U.S. food retail sector turning towards natural refrigerant systems.

Eurocold recently installed a CO₂ system with parallel compression at a Recheio store in Torres Novas, Portugal.

Investigators have so far refused to confirm or deny whether the refrigeration system was the source of yesterday’s fatal ammonia leak at the Carlsberg brewery in Northampton.
