This first podcast in the globalFACT Forum series addresses the challenges faced by the HVACR sector in relation to the HFC phase-down, environmental impact, and misperceptions about the options available to users today.
Additional ‘Refrigerant Realities’ covered:
- There is not one refrigerant solution for all situations
- HFC regulation is driving transition
- HFOs and low GWP HFCs are viable low GWP options and here for the long-term
- There is more to consider than just GWP when considering environmental sustainability
- GWP does not tell the whole story
- Low GWP alone is not enough to minimise environmental impact
“There are a lot of questions and uncertainty in the industry around how to meet regulatory requirements, what solutions are viable, and what to factor into the decision-making process,” said globalFACT executive director Jordan Smith. “In reality, more lower GWP refrigerant options exist than you might think, and it is important to keep focus on all the factors that come into play when making these decisions.”
The podcast is the latest resource from globalFACT and follows the release of the group’s white paper, Selecting the Right Refrigerant for Commercial Refrigeration, as well as its Cost and Efficiency Calculator.
