Hot bed of CO2 heat pumps in Japan
There was an array of CO2 heat pump technology on display at HVAC&R Japan 2016 in Tokyo, with leading multinationals including Mitsubishi and Hitachi eager to make the most of the highly efficient refrigerant.
EU’s Strategy on Heating and Cooling explores potential of natural refrigerants
According to the first EU-level Strategy on Heating and Cooling, the phase-down of fluorinated gases under the EU F-Gas Regulation will help accelerate the renovation of heating and cooling systems in buildings. The European Commission identifies natural refrigerants as having great energy-saving potential.
NEXT Series: Alfa Laval to minimise environmental impact with natural refrigerants
Heat pumps, heat recovery systems and ammonia in industrial use – these will be the most interesting applications to focus on the refrigerant market this year, Jesper Olsen, Alfa Laval’s business and application manager, told R744.com. The Swedish company is heading into 2016 with ambitious plans to expand its ammonia and CO2 portfolio.

Transcritical CO2 systems handling the heat in Georgia
In a Sprouts store in Georgia, an all-CO2 system is performing more efficiently than baseline HFC technology. As Accelerate America Editor Michael Garry found out in the July-August edition, the U.S.’s increasingly positive stance on natural refrigerants – and CO2 in particular – is, for the first time in the U.S., taking effect in warm ambient temperatures.
GUIDE China: Panasonic showcases array of environmentally friendly CO2 heat pump solutions
Although in its infancy, the adoption of CO2 systems in the world’s largest industrial economy, China, continues to gain traction. While HFCs and HCFCs still permeate the market in China, in order to mitigate the effects of climate change it’s only a matter of time before sustainable natural refrigerants like CO2 attain widespread implementation.
ATMOsphere America 2015: CO2 finds favour in industrial refrigeration and heat pump applications
As in previous years ATMOsphere America 2015, organised in Atlanta on 25-26 June, provided an opportunity to learn about the very latest technology developments. A series of technology case study sessions focused on industrial refrigeration, heat pumps, and new applications provided no shortage of evidence on the advantages of CO2 in applications beyond the world of commercial refrigeration.
