As the refrigeration industry shifts toward alternative refrigerants, many questions arise about the necessity and implications of using flammable options. This presentation will address whether flammable refrigerants are truly required, why non-flammable alternatives are not always feasible and the differences between mildly and highly flammable types. We will clarify safety requirements including ATEX considerations.

Key takeaways include understanding the core principles of A3 refrigerant system design, dispelling common misconceptions about ATEX components in refrigeration systems and ensuring staff are properly trained and certified to handle flammable refrigerants safely. The session covers current product availability, the applications and solutions where flammable r ...
