Join host Jamie Kitchen who will cover a wide range of HVAC-R topics, from hands-on tips to general industry trends. You’ll learn how to save time on startup & commissioning, reduce call backs and get the best performance from a system. Want to find out if your airflow is correct or how to determinet quickly? You’ve come to the right place. https://www.danfoss.com/en/about-danfoss/our-businesses/climate-solutions/falseepisodichttps://feeds.captivate.fm/takingthetemperatureonhvacr/nopodcastFrom ice harvesting to Low-GWP refrigerantsFrom ice harvesting to Low-GWP refrigerantsIn this episode of Taking the Temperature of HVAC, Jamie Kitchen sits down with John Broughton and Jorg Saar to explore the fascinating history of refrigerants—from harvested ice, water, ammonia, and CO2 to CFCs, HCFCs, HFCs, and today’s low-GWP alternatives.

The conversation traces how refrigeration evolved from ice houses and early evaporative cooling to mechanical systems in homes, factories, ships, and supermarkets. Along the way, the team shares stories from the field, reflects on the rise and fall of refrigerants like R-12, R-22, R-11, and R-502, and discusses why the industry is once again adapting to a new generation of refrigerants, including propane, CO2, R-32, and A2Ls.

It’s a practical, entertaining look at how the past continues to shape the future of HVAC—and why understanding refrigerant history matters more than ever.

Jens is joined by Stefan Wesch, who knows everything worth knowing about transport cooling. Together, they share a small glimpse into the world of Transport Cooling and the challenges it’s facing in today’s world. They also explore the implications for companies like Danfoss that supply components to this essential corner of refrigeration.

You can do the shift in charge from HFC to another HFC and in some cases also from HCFC to HFC, but you just don’t go all the way to HFO in an existing system. You need to check the component performance, so you’ll need to know what you’re doing! The podcast is made as a teaser and inspiration to get on board the Refrigerant Week 2019.

You’ll learn about the two main types of condensers and what you need to keep in mind when working with the air-cooled variety. Last, but not least, Jens shares some wisdom about air-cooled condenser pressure regulator methods.

As new regulations phase out old refrigerants in favor of more environmentally friendly ones, HVACR professionals will need to perform more refrigerant retrofits.

Jens discusses what you need to think about when doing a retrofit. It may seem like a walk in the park, but there are several things that you’ll need to consider, including things that don’t necessarily have a direct connection to the replacement of a refrigerant.
