Editor’s note H
Welcome to March 2024 issue of ACR News
umidity control is an important element of both air conditioning and refrigeration. In this issue, Dave Marshall-George of Condair, considers the most
important aspects of installing dehumidifi ers, while John Barker of Humidity Solutions discusses the use of ultrasonic humidifi ers for precision and contamination control.
Climate change and AI are arguably the two most talked about topics at the
moment, but what happens when you put them both together? With the rapid evolution of AI, the demand for data centres has never been
greater, but these behemoth buildings generate phenomenal amounts of heat. Aparajita Kapoor from Honeywell Advanced Materials talks to ACR News about the challenges of cooling data centres. In the meantime, Edward Porter from IMS Evolve reveals how IoT technology
can help food retailers manage increasingly extreme outdoor temperatures. Professor Dick Powell of Refrigerant Solutions delves into history and
discusses the Ozone Depletion hypothesis which was published in Nature 50 years ago this April. It’s been noticeable recently that the industry is out and about in force again,
with numbers approximating those of pre-Covid, which is great to see. Our next event is the ACR News Awards on 18 April in London - don’t forget to book your seat!
