Bitzer’s ‘Refrigerant report’

30 March, 2011

The sixteenth edition of Bitzer’s ‘Refrigerant report’ runs to 39 pages and provides a precise and unbiased guide to all current refrigerant alternatives. This latest report highlights the drastic changes to refrigeration technology over the last 20 years as a result of environmental pressures. In the field of refrigerants, there has been continual development of HCFCs, HFCs, blends, halogen-free refrigerants and special blends. The emergence of TEWI (total environmental warming impact) as a recognised method of calculating the environmental impact of a refrigeration system has come to the fore. Copies are free or downloadable from the Bitzer web site.
