Further tests on low GWP refrigerants

The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) is going to launch a second phase of its low GWP Alternative Refrigerants Evaluation Program (AREP).
The Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) is going to launch a second phase of its low GWP Alternative Refrigerants Evaluation Program (AREP).

The first phase, begun in 2011 as an industry-wide cooperative research initiative in response to environmental concerns raised by high-GWP refrigerants, was completed at the end of December 2013. AHRI will continue research in areas that were not previously addressed.

This includes research into the performance of refrigerants in high ambient conditions, refrigerants in applications not tested in the first phase and new refrigerants identified after programme testing began.

AHRI invites applications from oems, universities, and laboratories to perform second phase tests on refrigerants.
