As the world continues to transition to refrigerants with lower global warming potential (GWP), we are no longer dealing with familiar gasses carrying an A1 or B1 safety classification. A new 2L class has been introduced, as well as refrigerants with higher levels of flammability or operating pressure.
Safety requirements for all refrigerants, have been, and continue to be, updated. In this session, Stuart will outline recent changes to safety standards including those for new refrigerants including codes, & applications.
