Learn from industry experts as they talk about the latest science, applications, and legal concerns for those dealing with refrigerants. For an hour and a half, this webinar captures the overall global state of policies, research, and trends for using refrigerants in a variety of applications, while presenting the role of industry, government, and the individual in ensuring the responsible use of refrigerants.
21 May 2019, Tuesday, 9:00 – 10:00 AM
With funding from the Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), the Institute for Governance & Sustainable Development (IGSD), in collaboration with automobile Manufacturer Tata Motors Limited (TML) based in Pune, India, and the Technology System Supplier, MAHLE Behr Troy Inc. based in Stuttgart, Germany, has demonstrated a new technology called secondary loop mobile air conditioning (SL-MAC), which achieves significant reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with both refrigerant and motor fuel.
In this regard, we invite you to this webinar which will present the results of the project which was completed in December 2018. This demonstration project designed, tested and validated an SL-MAC system that achieved energy-efficient operation in high ambient air temperatures, such as those in India, when compared to existing direct expansion (DX) mobile air conditioners. These outcomes will encourage global implementation to phase down high global warming potential hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), a short-lived climate pollutant (SLCP).

Fifty six refrigeration and air conditioning technicians participated in a Good Servicing Practices workshop from January 19 to February 16, 2019. The workshop was conducted as part of the HCFC Phase-out Management Plan Stage II- I project in keeping with Guyana’s Montreal Protocol’s ozone depleting substances phase-out programme. Technicians were exposed to 40 hours of training on the following areas:
