Future Refrigerant Options with Low Climate Impact for Stationary Air Conditi...UNEP OzonAction
1. The document evaluates future refrigerant options for air conditioners based on their global warming impact, energy efficiency, flammability, toxicity, and cost.
2. It finds that R32 has a much lower direct global warming effect than R22 or R410A, and its impact could be further lowered through design modifications. It also has equivalent or better energy efficiency than alternatives.
3. While R290 (propane) poses flammability risks, the document argues for early adoption of technologies available now to significantly reduce future greenhouse gas emissions from refrigerants.
The document discusses options for substituting HCFC refrigerants, including natural refrigerants like ammonia, hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide, and water, as well as low global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants. It emphasizes that training is key to transitioning to new technologies, as was the case with the successful Montreal Protocol phase out. Natural refrigerants can be used in many applications, though safety is a concern that requires training. Low GWP refrigerants make most sense where price is not a major factor and proper training programs exist.

Emerson climate technologies 2010 - Refrigerant choices for commercial refrig...Jesús Catalán Gil
Emerson Climate Technologies is committed to supporting solutions that safeguard food and protect
the environment. Minimising the impact of climate change through responsible energy use and reducing
carbon footprint are key environmental objectives.
This study is designed to help our customers meet these objectives by providing guidance to the complex
decision-making process when specifying supermarket cabinet cooling systems, both for new build and
major refurbishment projects. It focuses on the refrigerant but takes into account the refrigeration system
architecture and technology which have an impact on energy consumption, environment and investment
costs. Supermarkets were chosen in this study as they offer the greatest potential to integrate the latest
refrigeration design principles in order to improve environmental performance.
Fourteen combinations of system technologies and refrigerants are investigated and referred to as “cases”.
The study sets out the refrigerant, compressor technology, and system type for each case, together with
alternatives and the operating conditions associated with them.
We have started from a baseline with a reference supermarket containing a sales area of 1000-1200m2,
typical of the store formats found throughout Europe. This Case 1 supermarket establishes the base with
which different refrigerant / technology combinations are compared.
The study includes five refrigerant / technology combinations for supermarket refrigeration systems -
centralised Direct Expansion (DX), distributed Direct Expansion, cascade system, secondary system, and
R744 booster transcritical system.

Diverso Energy Presentation: HRAI Conference 2019Susan Smith
This document discusses the challenges developers face in meeting new sustainability standards and the opportunities for geothermal heating and cooling. Developers must adopt sustainability measures due to changing building codes, carbon targets, and market expectations, which increases costs and complexity. A third party ownership model is proposed where another company designs, builds, owns and operates the geothermal system, reducing risk and costs for developers. This model provides benefits like achieving carbon targets, decreasing budgets, and increasing marketability and profits. It also benefits condo boards, architects, and lenders.
Build applications with generative AI on Google CloudMárton Kodok
We will explore Vertex AI - Model Garden powered experiences, we are going to learn more about the integration of these generative AI APIs. We are going to see in action what the Gemini family of generative models are for developers to build and deploy AI-driven applications. Vertex AI includes a suite of foundation models, these are referred to as the PaLM and Gemini family of generative ai models, and they come in different versions. We are going to cover how to use via API to: - execute prompts in text and chat - cover multimodal use cases with image prompts. - finetune and distill to improve knowledge domains - run function calls with foundation models to optimize them for specific tasks. At the end of the session, developers will understand how to innovate with generative AI and develop apps using the generative ai industry trends.
