Revising A3 refrigerants charge limits to promote wider application
A recent IJR paper examines the validity and form of charge limits for “highly flammable” A3 refrigerants, which constitute low-GWP alternatives to HFCs. Authors propose to eliminate upper charge limits for...
Growing popularity of LNG as a fuel in maritime and land transport
Less than 1% of the world fleet is LNG-powered, but this figure is expected to grow at least fivefold over the coming years. Recent figures suggest that the use of liquefied natural gas (LNG) as a fuel for...
Latest IPCC report predicts an increased risk of heatwaves
The IPCC report published in February 2022 highlights several risks posed by rising temperatures, such as increased heat waves and greater energy demand for space...
Refrigeration innovations for the avocado market
The booming global avocado market calls for increasing standards of quality. Refrigeration technologies offer cutting-edge solutions for fruit ripening and seed preservation for future crops.
Immersion cooling: a high-performance plant-based fluid
A U.S. food company has created an immersion cooling fluid for data centres made from 90% vegetable oil.
Propane air conditioners: improving leakage safety
The latest research and developments in leakage safety of R290 air conditioners are presented in several articles recently published in the IJR.
Latest figures on HFC impact on climate change
EU reports that hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) emissions from refrigeration and air conditioning (RAC) have decreased for the fourth consecutive year since 2014. On a global scale, the impact of HFCs on climate...
