Study reveals transition of Low GWP refrigerants underway despite persistent challenges
According to the study, penetration of hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) continues to remain high despite growing research on its harmful impact on the environment.
The heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) industry is making the steady shift toward low GWP refrigerants, with decisions influenced by an evolving regulatory climate. In fact, the low GWP refrigerants market is projected to be $18 billion, according to a study released by Fact.MR, Rockville, Md.
HFCs phase-out and strict environmental regulations remain key influencing factors
