AHRI, ASHRAE, and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are collaborating to fund vital research that will establish a more robust fact base about the properties and the use of flammable refrigerants. This $5.8 million research program is coordinated by the AHRTI Flammable Refrigerants Committee. This session provides the Society with a summary and status update on these key research projects. The audience can learn the industry’s challenge and efforts towards implementing flammable refrigerants. Open dialogue during the discussion phase will help provide valuable feedback to research teams.
