Editor’s note W
Welcome to the September issue of ACR News
ith Chillventa almost upon us, we’ve taken a sneak peek at what just a few of the exhibitors will be doing at the show this year. T e ACR News team will be there and look
forward to seeing some of you in Nuremburg from 8 to 10 October 2024. Inside these pages, John Barker of Humidity Solutions discusses the
HVAC skills gap, while Dave Marshall-George from Condair compares dehumidifi er technologies and gives an overview on best practise dehumidifi er selection. Air conditioning in retail can be an art form with far reaching consequences for retailer.
Sophie Davenport of SFE Services discusses why air conditioning is essential and how the wrong temperature can cause customers to put down their baskets and leave. Meanwhile, David Dunn of Carrier explores the benefi ts hotels can experience by
upgrading to VRF systems and highlights how making the leap can deliver both short and long-term ROI, and Aermec’s David Evans explains why heat pumps off er a sustainable solution for cooling and heating. With an eye to problem solving, the Institute of Refrigeration (IOR) discusses how to
tackle excessive noise and Mike Gosling of Trox UK, answers questions about the recently published NAAD22: Fire Dampers Guidance document. In refrigerant gas detection for fl uorinated gases, including HFCs, HFOs, and A2L
refrigerants, two primary sensor technologies—semiconductor sensors and infrared sensors—vie for prominence. Samon sheds light on them both. Finally, Jason Webb discusses the distribution of sensitive goods in our transportation special focus. I hope you fi nd this issue interesting and informative,
