Air conditioning professionals attending this year's AHR Expo had the opportunity to preview Danfoss' extensive portfolio of rooftop components that unite to help OEMs tackle seasonal efficiency and refrigerant changes—including innovations like the Interlaced Micro Channel Heat Exchanger (iMCHE). Designers of rooftop units are facing a pair of environmental challenges: the US Department of Energy's 2023 energy efficiency standards requirement of a 15% increase in integrated energy effici...
In response to a global shift away from R410A and R22, Danfoss has added a complete portfolio of components to help OEMs develop air conditioning systems with R32. With its relatively low global warming potential (GWP) at GWP-675, high volumetric capacity and efficiency, lower purchase price and system charge, R32 has become one of the most popular alternatives—along with R452B and R454B—to R410A for commercial air conditioning systems and heat pumps. In response to high demand&mdas...

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) have been evaluating energy use and environmental trends for many years. Although legislative organization began nearly a dozen years ago, trends have largely remained consistent. R-22, or HCFC-22, along with other refrigerants, is being phased out because of its impact on the environment, contributing to the depletion of the ozone layer. Shortly after the current president took office in 2017, the DOE established...
“Evaporative cooling, direct, indirect, and two-stage solutions, are being used across the board in a wide variety of commercial and industrial solutions,” said Randy Niederer, Director of Marketing, Cambridge Engineering Inc. “It is currently experiencing a renaissance, as large manufacturing and distribution facilities are choosing this technology to provide cooling relief for employees.” This renaissance, along with several new technology factors, creates a backdrop f...
The European F-gas Directive is all about the restriction of fluorinated greenhouse gases, which includes hydro-fluorocarbons (HFCs), commonly used as refrigerants for air conditioning. This is a regulation that has been adopted by the European Union to phase-down the usage of refrigerants, which have a high Global Warming Potential (GWP). Since the most common refrigerants used (e.g. R410A, R134a), by individuals and industry wide, are affected by this regulation, there has been a drive lately...

There’s a good chance that, for the past few years, users have been hearing HVAC contractors talk about the R-22 phase-out or the ‘Freon’ phase-out, especially if they own an AC system that still relies on it. But what even is the phase-out? And how does it impact users? Chapman Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing is here to clue everybody in on it. What Is R-22 Refrigerant? Nearly all modern cooling systems rely on a refrigerant loop, in order to cool homes Nearly all...
Roen Est has announced that the EXH evaporators range is now available for HFO refrigerant gases. A few months after the official launch, now the single-pass evaporators, EXH series, can be selected for HFO refrigerants, as R1234ze and R1234yf, and for the azeotropic mixture, R513A. EXH evaporators R513A is one of the best options to retrofit the current R134a chillers. R1234ze and R1234yf represent, however, the future of high-efficiency air conditioning plants. Sizing and rating with R1234ze...
