The shift from synthetic to natural refrigerants is everywhere. Everyone in our industry is talking about it; every conference and trade show we attend is focused on it. It’s not a new thing. We are just giving it more focus – as it deserves. I see the decision in the US to phase out 85% of HFC usage by 2036 as an important initiative to reduce the use of harmful refrigerants. It makes me think back to a trip I took with my parents 13 years ago. My father, Michael, the founder of HB Products A/S, was going to install the first Vapor Quality Sensor in Los Angeles, the customer wanted to reduce the charge of ammonia, to meet legislation on the US market. 13 years ago, this product was probably ahead of its time. However, my father and the development team never took notice of market interest. If they saw a challenge, they worked to create an innovative solution. And we have done a lot of learning since the first product came out. Fortunately, our industry is beginning to adopt products that can contribute to a better future, as legislation drives the market to shift toward the most energy-efficient and least harmful solutions. With the Vapor Quality Sensor, you can reduce the charge of refrigerant in the system, control the circulation rate, or use it as compressor protection. Latest, we have partnered with Hansen Technologies Corporation on the mission to reduce the refrigerant charge in industrial systems and make them more energy efficient. If you are curious about the collaboration, you can read more in the article "Hansen and HB’s New Evaporator Control Sensor Can Reduce the Ammonia Charge in Industrial Systems by 75%," which I have linked here: https://lnkd.in/dK-7xchx In the picture we have Michael in one of the first interviews about Vapor Quality. #HBProducts #Gonatrefs #Industrialrefrigeration

This is an inevitable market adjustment by Chemours, in response to the EPA's HFC Phasedown - Consumption & Production Allowance Caps and Allocations rule. Chemours appears to be stewarding its allocation of HFCs for uses other than the production of R404a and R507. This is not good news if you still have a system that contains these refrigerants. Honeywell will continue to manufacture R404a and R507 for now, but their future availability and cost are uncertain. The clock is ticking on these and other higher-GWP synthetic refrigerants! If you have an older refrigeration system, it would be wise to keep an eye on the market price of refrigerants like R404a and R507. It may be time to start considering a replacement for your aging equipment. Fortunately, there are many options available to you! You can opt for a system using one of the newer low-GWP synthetic refrigerants, or even consider a natural refrigerant solution. In today's rapidly changing world, staying up-to-date with the latest refrigerant choices is more important than ever. Don't get left behind! Let's explore the best options together and ensure that you're always ahead of the curve.

Join us on March 7, 2024, to learn how to eliminate VOC emissions in your manufacturing process with UV coatings technology. Webinar: Eliminating VOC emissions in your manufacturing process and much more with UV coatings technology 📅 March 7, 2024, 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST 🗣 Speaker: Michael Kelly, Allied PhotoChemical Inc. Register Now at https://lnkd.in/ey2VNakJ Webinar Overview: Imagine being able to eliminate all VOC’s in your manufacturing process – Thousands of pounds of VOC’s per year, while producing faster, using a smaller physical footprint and less overall energy costs. Companies today are aggressively exploring and implementing energy savings programs within their manufacturing facilities, mainly due to the continued rate increases besieging manufacturing entities. Current powder and water/solvent-based paint operations utilize expensive gas, IR ovens and induction heating, whose operating costs have skyrocketed over the past several years. In addition, some high VOC coatings require RTO (Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers) to combust known VOC’s / exhaust fumes, adding to more costly energy expenditures.
