USA: The Air-conditioning, Heating and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) is to host a free-to-attend webinar on the US HFC phase down.

The AHRI invites original equipment manufacturers and retailers to join the webinar on April 20, (12.00pm to 1.30pm EDT) to learn industry best practices in preparation for a smooth HFC transition. 

Panelists Include Tim Anderson of Hussmann, Rajan Rajendran of Emerson Climate Technologies, Stephen Spletzer of Chemours and Helen Walter-Terrinoni of AHRI.
