Regular A/C maintenance ensures efficiency and prevents refrigerant leaks.

Regular maintenance of air conditioning systems ensures that the system is operating efficiently and helps prevent refrigerant leaks that contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Remember: if the system does not leak, there is no direct atmospheric impact. Conventional F-gas systems are simpler to maintain and service, which means that technicians who are trained to service […]

Risk of banning PFAS: Why a one-size-fits-all approach may lead to unintended consequences.

Would states such as Maine and Minnesota continue to use essential products containing PFAS even after the substances are banned? How will banning PFAS impact the integrity of medicines or the food cold chain that has refrigeration requirements? The answers are not clear. What is even more troubling: some state policymakers are placing their hopes […]

UNEP Report Insights: TFA and the Environment

A recent report by the United Nations Environment Programme’s Environmental Effects Assessment Panel (UNEP EEAP) sheds new light on trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in the global environment. The report, Environmental Effects of Stratospheric Ozone Depletion, UV Radiation, and Interactions with Climate Change, adds to a growing body of evidence that shows: Concerns about manmade TFA arising […]

Pressure Points: Downsides of CO2-based Refrigerants

Supermarkets face intense pressure to increase sales, reduce costs and importantly, adhere to changing regulations. That’s why choosing the right refrigeration system is critical. CO2-based refrigeration systems fall short. They’re not reliable, energy-efficient, cost-effective, or easy to maintain. The good news? There are other low-GWP refrigerant options for retailers and supermarkets, like low-GWP HFCs, HFOs, […]
