This document discusses natural refrigerants as an alternative to synthetic refrigerants like R410A. It provides several reasons why natural refrigerants like hydrocarbons are better, including that they have a higher critical temperature, can absorb more heat, and are cheaper. It also presents a case study of retrofitting an air conditioning system at a shopping center with natural refrigerants, achieving a 70% energy saving compared to a new R410A system while keeping costs under budget and minimizing disruption. The document advocates that natural refrigerants can help future proof air conditioning systems.

The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) works to phase out HFC refrigerants and replace them with more sustainable natural refrigerant alternatives. CGF members have installed natural refrigerant systems in over 10,000 stores globally. While natural refrigerants face challenges in terms of cost and viability in hot climates, case studies show they can be cost-effective compared to HFCs over the long-term due to lower operational costs. CGF is working with members and stakeholders to share best practices and further the transition away from HFCs, which if phased out could significantly reduce global warming.

This document summarizes refrigeration systems used by ALDI, Woolworths, and Coles supermarkets in Australia, including current and future use of CO2 and natural refrigerants. It discusses ALDI's use of CO2/R134a systems and chest freezers running on R290. It also describes a CO2 transcritical system installed at ALDI and CO2 transcritical and hydrocarbon systems at Coles stores in Coburg. Barriers to the adoption of CO2 transcritical and natural refrigerants in Australia are outlined. Potential commercial applications of natural refrigerants in Australia are also mentioned.

The document discusses the transition to more energy efficient and environmentally friendly HVACR systems. It notes that HVACR currently accounts for a large portion of global warming emissions and that regulations are changing to phase down the use of high-GWP refrigerants. The transition presents both challenges and opportunities for the industry, including new technology, training, and collaboration across sectors. Natural refrigerant-based systems offer benefits now and can help future-proof the industry against regulatory changes.
Scrap Preheating for Steel Melting Induction FurnacesRADE INITIATIVE
Saving Electrical Energy as well as Heat timings by preheating the Scrap Metal charge and DRI is an established practice with EAF ( Electric Arc Furnaces). This same method can be adopted for Induction Furnaces as well, utilizing the Vertical Shaft kiln for preheating the charge using either the waste heat in case of a CAp Topped Induction Furnace or using cheap fuels like Coal or Biomass.
