Editor’s note I
Welcome to the May issue of ACR News
nside this issue we cover the ACR News Awards which took place on 18 April and celebrates some spectacular winners, some of whom we will be taking a closer look at over the
coming months. T is issue also focuses on compressors. Transforming the
cooling industry into a true ‘circular economy’ that works hand-in-glove with new equipment supply is the biggest challenge and greatest opportunity facing the sector, as Will Pribyl of Green Point UK explains. Modern cooling systems need to be effi cient and cost-eff ective with a focus
on carbon reduction. Upgrading old systems with the latest technologies, compressors and ow GWP refrigerants is key. Grahame Keeping of J & E Hall, looks at where savings can be made in the food processing and storage industries. What are the benefi ts of planned compressor maintenance, and when should
you call in the experts? Gary Stockham of LH-plc has the answers, while Craig Harding of Aermec UK explains how HVAC maintenance can pay for itself. T e move away towards natural refrigerants and away from synthetic marks a signifi cant shiſt and Tim Mitchell of Klima-T erm, explains why this matters. Meanwhile, innovations in cooling technology have revolutionised the way industrial processes are cooled. Stuart Peers of Carrier Commercial HVAC UK & Ireland reveals how these advancements help improve the industrial process.
I hope you fi nd this issue informative and interesting, 2024
