AHRI webinar on reducing system leaks

USA: The AHRI is hosting a free webinar on the detection and reduction of refrigerant leaks. 

Leakage rates in refrigeration systems have long been an industry concern, but now, with the implementation of the AIM Act and HFC phasedown regulations in the USA, OEMs and end-users are being prompted to pursue alternative avenues to reducing emissions.

AHRI and industry experts from the Environmental Protection Agency’s GreenChill Programme, Veic, and OEMs Bacharach, Emerson, and Hussmann will provide an overview of the benefits of reducing leaks, which are a major cause of emissions, and the technologies available to do so. 

The webinar – The HFC Phasedown: Refrigeration System Leaks – Detection and Reduction – will be held on April 26 at 02.00 pm EDT. Register here.
