Editor’s note A


Welcome to the July issue of ACR News


t CDL, long-time friends David Dunn and Darrel Birkett have turned three decades of parallel careers into a shared mission: refi ne the customer journey, grow without


losing the family feel, and shape a partnership built for the next chapter. T eir reunion comes as the wider industry faces tightening


refrigerant rules and accelerating change. T at urgency was the thread running through Climalife’s recent technical customer day, where contractors, manufacturers and specialists gathered for a full programme of refrigerant updates, legislative insight and practical guidance on the shiſt to low-GWP solutions.


Across cold storage, operators are under pressure to cut energy waste, with JS Air Curtains’ Tony Fleming highlighting how something as simple as an open door can quietly drain performance. In pharmaceuticals, ICS Cool Energy’s Dave Palmer explains why temporary cold stores must deliver more than chilled space, supporting precise temperature control across critical processes. Accessories demand is rising too, with CPS Products’ Brian Doyle outlining the wireless tools that sharpen accuracy and safety. And as heat pumps evolve, voices from NIBE, Trox UK and Frankische UK emphasise policy alignment, smarter refrigerant choices and better system design to help the sector scale with confi dence.


I hope you fi nd this issue informative and interesting. 2027 LORDAN_Layout 1 18/11/2020 14:31 Page 1 A
