Bente Tranholm Schwarz says f-gas industry has to help Europe achieve climate targets.
ECOS calls for use of natural refrigerants, not HFOs and other new F-gases, whose climate impact is often understated.
The EU-funded MultiPACK project is testing the performance of cooling/heating CO2 solutions in supermarkets and other buildings.
CO2 is the most popular choice, followed by hydrocarbons, says poll by Emerson and ComRes.
Simple, Global, Industrialised and Reliable: these are the characteristics of the CO2 FTE 2.0 transcritical system, patent pending in Italy and Australia. This system matches simplicity and performance, with a tested up to 17% energy savings (compared with traditional CO2 systems). In the 2.0 version, the FTE systems guarantees less space and the reduction of installation and start-up times, doing away with the need for additional space in the machine room to house the liquid receiver. It is at the heart of the Life-C4R – Carbon 4 Retail Refrigeration project, within the Mitigation area of the LIFE Programme of the European Union and co-financed by the EU (n° LIFE17 CCM/IT/000120).
By ensuring all liquid is evaporated, the Teklab Evaporator Management unit reduces the super-heating and makes it possible to work with higher evaporating pressures.

The EESC Committee is also in favor of setting a 150 GWP cap across all technologies and promoting incentives schemes and public procurement for f-gas-free alternatives.
The EU funded MultiPACK project tested Integrated CO2 heat pump systems in two Italian hotels and found COP values up to 6, depending on the ambient temperatures
