Danfoss has announced the start of the third Refrigerant Week—with tools, events, and resources to help customers get ready for refrigerant change.
In recent years, legislation around refrigerants has shifted significantly, affecting prices and availability all over the world. And the move to low-GWP (global warming potential) alternatives has only just begun.
Danfoss Refrigerant Week
Throughout the industry, people are dealing with unprecedented change. So, in 2017, Danfoss started Refrigerant Week.
It's the company’s unique way of bringing together the best and brightest minds in refrigeration to help installers, resellers, wholesalers, operators, and OEM engineers handle the accelerating pace of refrigerant transition through a packed program of webinars, podcasts, and local training events.
