The transition to refrigerants with lower global warming potential (GWP) is underway in the commercial refrigeration industry. Whether you operate in a state that has a legal mandate or are seeking to meet corporate sustainability objectives, many owners, operators and contractors are exploring their current and future refrigeration options. But selecting an architecture goes well beyond sustainability considerations. Stakeholders also must evaluate a variety of economic and operational factors, including first investment, maintenance requirements and lifecycle costs.
The refrigerant transition also is shifting the way we think about system architectures. To reduce refrigerant leaks and system charges, equipment manufacturers are evaluating a variety of approaches that represent more flexible alternatives to traditional centralized direct expansion systems. Join us as we explore the latest decentralized and distributed architectures that utilize low-GWP refrigerants.
Attendees will learn about:
- How refrigerant regulations are impacting operators by state and region
- The many factors influencing system selection, from facility size and first cost to serviceability and safety
- Emerging decentralized and distributed architectures and their wide range of applications
- How a modular approach to system design enables speed and flexibility
