From high-pressure CO2 components and propane-ready commercial refrigeration packages to digital controls, leak detection, and data-center cooling hardware, AHR Expo 2026 packs a wide slice of HVACR innovation into one show floor. Taking place February 2–4, 2026 in Las Vegas, this RefIndustry preview maps the exhibitor announcements we received into a clear “technology stack” view—so you can quickly find what matters for your next refrigeration or air-conditioning project. Mission-critical cooling and data center thermal management Commercial refrigeration and f

Refindustry has released its 2025 year-in-review, compiled from the most-read and most impactful updates published on https://refindustry.com/. The review captures how the industry moved from “refrigerant choice” discussions to real-world transition execution—where compliance pathways, safety engineering, component readiness, service capacity, and digital monitoring determine outcomes on projects and in day-to-day operations. What shaped 2025 in practice: Regulation and standards became less linear, with reviews, petitions, and evolving timelines pushing companies to pl

By Kushal Aurangabadkar An experimental analysis was conducted on a cooler space measuring 3.66 m × 6.096 m (12.0 ft × 20.0 ft), equipped with an ammonia refrigeration coil, five 30 cm (12 in.) fans, and five diffusers. The study measured airflow patterns, cooling rates, and heat transfer efficiency in meat storage by testing two configurations: one with diffusers and one without. The meat was stored in two rows on a total of twelve racks. Performance data were collected and analysed to evaluate the impact of airflow distribution on cooling efficiency.
