Even the most ardent promoters of so-called “natural” refrigerants are willing to countenance refrigerants with GWPs up to 250 where TEWI values suggest this is warranted. read more FACT CHECK: TFA does not bioconcentrate in the ecosystem December 9, 2020 "The current and estimated future concentrations of TFA and its salts resulting from degradation of HCFCs, HFCs, and HFOs do not pose any known significant risk to human or ecosystem health." read more Vaccine Refrigeration is in the World’s Spotlight December 4, 2020 The critical role of refrigeration in promoting human health is again in the spotlight as the world awaits the arrival of vaccines in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. read more An Expert’s Take on So-Called “Naturals”: Retrofits December 3, 2020 Are there ways to minimize environmental impact besides switching to a different refrigerant? read more FACT CHECK: The impact of man-made TFA is minimal. November 19, 2020 One of the largest misconceptions about trifluoroacetic acid is that it’s harmful to the environment. But the truth is quite the contrary. read more An Expert’s Take on So-Called “Naturals”: GWP November 12, 2020 Operators everywhere are seeking refrigerant solutions that benefit the environment without breaking the bank, leaving many many laser-focused on finding low-GWP (low-global warming potential) solutions. But, how important is GWP as a metric? read more FACT CHECK: TFA is Naturally Occurring November 6, 2020 There is significant research and published data on trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), but it’s often misinterpreted or selectively sourced to draw inaccurate conclusions.
