Danfoss recently introduced its new Multi Ejector Solution™, which the company says will help CO2 become a major asset for the cooling industry. As a refrigerant, CO2 has the lowest possible Global Warming Potential (GWP) with a rating of “1,” causes zero ozone depletion, and is non-toxic and non-flammable.
Danfoss has added to its portfolio of low-GWP (global warming potential) compressors by introducing an option to use R-513A, and expanded its operating map range to cover low-lift applications for the TT Series compressor family. R-513A is a low-GWP, non-flammable (A1) alternative refrigerant to R-134a that allows chiller manufacturers to meet future HFC regulations, such as the European Union’s F-gas regulation. All Turbocor® TT Series compressors produced starting in December 2017 with compressor firmware version 4.1 will be compatible with both R-134a and R-513A.
Danfoss has named Welbilt’s brand Delfield as the winner of its EnVisioneer of the Year Award for its use of Danfoss controls to convert equipment to low-GWP, natural refrigerant while also improving energy efficiency.
The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Technology Institute (AHRTI) released the first research report as part of its ongoing testing of flammable refrigerants.
Ingersoll Rand recently shared progress on its global Climate Commitment, a pledge to reduce environmental impacts from its operations and product portfolio.
