Session description
The HVAC/R industry is rapidly transitioning toward low-GWP refrigerants in response to increasingly stringent environmental regulations and F-Gas phase-down targets. The growing adoption of natural and flammable refrigerants is driving a significant evolution in the design, integration and safety management of refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump systems, introducing new technical and safety challenges for manufacturers, OEMs, installers and system designers.
In this evolving scenario, EN378 plays a key role in defining the safety framework for HVAC/R applications, supporting the transition toward more sustainable technologies while ensuring high standards of safety and environmental protection.
This presentation provides an overview of the ongoing EN378 revision p ...
