NEWS | COOLING World Refrigeration Day focuses on cool careers The indoor climate at NHS Scotlands new Covid-19 testing laboratories is being maintained by cooling and heating systems from Toshiba Carrier UK. Air cooled chillers and heat-recovery Events held over two weeks around annual celebration on 26 June This years World Refrigeration Day focused on careers in the refrigeration, airconditioning and heat pumps (RACHP) industry, with events held over two weeks either side of 26 June. Collectively titled Cooling champions: cool careers for a better world, the events aimed to inspire students and young professionals in all countries to meet the challenges faced in their communities. In addition, to mark International Women in Engineering Day (23 June), the Institute of Refrigeration (IOR), an ally organisation, offered free online events organised by its Women in RACHP Group. These included How women are inspiring the next generation of engineers, which featured engineers in various disciplines describe what inspired them to embark on a career in refrigeration (listen back at bit.ly/CJJul21WRD). As CIBSE Journal was going to press, the IOR was due to hold two other events: Cool careers in RACHP on 24 June, with presentations showing the range Scotland Covid-19 test centres use Carrier cooling and heating rollout of testing laboratories converted from existing healthcare facilities across always on standby for continuity of cooling.

Trane launches low-GWP chiller Trane has launched its latest addition to the scroll-compressor chillers, heat pumps, multi-pipe units and rooftops portfolio, featuring the low global warming potential (GWP) R-454B refrigerant. The Sintesis Advantage CGAF air cooled chillers with R-454B are available in capacities ranging from 150kW to 670kW. According to the manufacturer, the units diverse environments. Seace added that The heat-transfer area of the heat refrigerants available today for scroll-compressor technology. R-454B offers a 76% reduction in direct GWP impact against R-410A, and a 34% reduction against R-32 HFC refrigerant. This answers customers need for a sustainable refrigerant option that future-proofs their investment and mitigates the increasing tax rates put on refrigerants across Europe. Trane introduced R-454B across its entire scroll-compressor portfolio, and will soon complete its offering of heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems with low and ultra-low GWP refrigerants across all product ranges.
