United States. The Air Conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) announced that it will present test results from the second phase of its Low Global Warming Potential (GWP) Alternative Refrigerant Assessment Program during a one-day conference on January 21, 2016, in Orlando, Florida, the day before the start of the ASHRAE Winter Conference.
"AHRI's research program is robust and forward-thinking," said Stephen Yurek, President and CEO of AHRI. "We are proud to play a role in bringing the industry together to address our most pressing issues."
The first phase of the programme concluded in December 2013. AHRI began a second phase in January 2014 to continue research in areas that were not previously targeted, including testing in high ambient conditions, applications not considered in the first phase, and new refrigerants identified from the first phase. The program is administered by a technical committee that reports to the AHRI Executive Committee; the AHRI Research Department administers the program.
The one-day conference will include nearly 20 technical presentations from the principal investigators, who will detail test results in a variety of applications with a variety of refrigerants. Registration is available here.
