KARYER, which participated in AHR Expo 2026 held in Las Vegas between February 2-4 2026 as KR Coils, states that it had the opportunity to observe the direction in which HVAC&R industry is progressing through interactions with professionals from different fields. According to the trend report published by the organizers, the main topics highlighted are: transition to low GWP refrigerants, energy efficiency, verification of system performance under real-world conditions, and smarter, more integrated solutions.
During the technical discussions held at the KARYER stand throughout the event, it was concluded that the balance between efficiency, reliability, and compatibility has become critical, especially in commercial and industrial cooling applications. It was conveyed that criteria such as long lifespan, energy consumption, and refrigerant compatibility have become central to decision-making processes in cooling solutions.
As highlighted in the trend report, the transition toward next-generation refrigerants is accelerating across the industry. Manufacturers and system providers are focusing on compatible equipment designs and high-performance heat transfer solutions to support this transformation. The products and applications showcased at AHR Expo 2026 clearly demonstrated that this transition is gaining momentum.
Another key insight shared by the company is that data centers, driven by increasing digitalization and AI applications, are creating very high heat loads and placing greater pressure on cooling systems. As a result, water-based cooling and heat recovery solutions that support energy balance are becoming increasingly important.
AHR Expo 2026 showed that the cooling industry is clearly moving toward more efficient and sustainable solutions. According to KARYER team, the event stood out not only as a product showcase, but also a strong platform for industry professionals to evaluate the future of cooling solutions based on today’s needs.
