Why clean cooling is the preferred solution in Norway.

Author(s) : HAFNER A.

Summary

The refrigeration society has a great opportunity to support the green transition necessary to achieve the global environmental goals in due time. The revised EU F-gas regulation and the PFAS restriction illustrate that we must replace synthetic working fluids in new systems whenever possible. During the last decades, triggered by the Montreal- and Kyoto Protocol, the refrigeration sector has developed alternative system solutions for most applications able to provide cooling and heating, both clean and energy efficient. The standards and regulations are in place to implement these kind of systems safely. Communication towards the owners and end-users is the key to accelerate the implementation rate. Knowhow, knowledge transfer, and training at all levels enables the transition from F-gas based systems to clean solutions. This article illustrates why Norwegian end-users are preferring future proof technologies to secure the value creation of their assets. R744 and R290 have become a common working fluid and skills have been achieved and transferred in various ways.
