New technologies and refrigerants, review of the f-gas regulation, covid-19 and vaccines distribution
2021 is going to be a milestone year in the global history of refrigeration. A new revision of the F-Gas Regulation is coming, alongside the latest technological developments; however, we will have to deal with the Covid-19 pandemic: what will we have to take special care of, in terms of HVAC/R plants?
During the online event we shed light on the only and first-of-its-kind Certification for sanitising and disinfecting HVAC/R systems, with particular attention on the involvement of refrigeration and the cold chain concerning Covid-19 vaccines distribution, in light of the ultra-low temperatures required for its storage and transportation. As always, we kept an eye on new technologies’ developments (equipment, tools, components, etc.), safety measures (leak checking, risk assessment, etc.), energy efficiency and renewable energies, alternative and natural refrigerants, HFC’s phase out and phase down, systems’ retrofit, regeneration and reclamation of refrigerants.
