Cubic A2L and A3 Refrigerant Gas Leakage Sensing Solution in Commercial Air Conditioning
In the United States, hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are the mainstream refrigerants in commercial air conditioning industry. However, HFCs have high GWP and are gradually being eliminated from the refrigerant market. Therefore, it is imperative that HFCs must be gradually replaced. On May 30, 2023, EPA put a new rule named Protection of Stratospheric Ozone: Listing of Substitutes Under the ...
