CONTENTS From the editor W
elcome to the May issue of ACR News.
The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of events, including our very own ACR News Awards, as well as the HVACR Live trade show, the FETA lunch, the relaunch of SWSWRS
breakfast briefings, and more. All of these events speak to the networking side of the industry being reinvigorated and eager to come together.
In this issue, Guilherme Almeida from Nidec explains the global context and trends that are driving innovation in the refrigeration sector. Kevin Glass of Bitzer highlights the importance of correct equipment selection, system design, and regular maintenance to minimize energy bills, while Aermec’s Paul Osborne outlines how planned preventative maintenance can pay for itself. I hope you find this issue informative and interesting.
