The March 2020 issue of Accelerate Magazine describes the debate among industrial refrigeration stakeholders over which natural refrigerant system to use for a given application – low-charge ammonia, ammonia/CO2 or transcritical CO2.
Also in the March 2020 issue are regional articles on: a massive CO2 refrigeration system used by pork processor Yosemite Foods in California; the use of transcritical CO2 by Italy Coop stores; a propane-based commercial air conditioning system in Australia; and the upsurge of propane in display cases in Japan. Global trend articles include: the cooling-as-a-service business model; synthetic, ice-free ice skating rinks; saving energy via data collection; and an update on the regional adoption of new hydrocarbons standards.
