Technical Seminar: Refrigerant Technology - Low-GWP Solution with HFOs for chiller plants in Hong Kong
 


Date, time & venue

2025-01-13;18:30 -19:30;James Chiu & Dragages Rooms, 9/F, Island Beverley, No 1 Great George Street, Causeway Bay or Zoom (Webinar)


Programme Highlight:
Back in 2017, Hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs) have been the latest generation of refrigerant in Hong Kong, valued for their low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and compliance with international and local environmental regulations, including the Kigali Amendment under Montreal Protocol, and Hong Kong's Ozone Layer Protection Ordinance (Cap. 403). As high-GWP hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) are being phased down and controlled under these regulations, HFOs have emerged as a sustainable, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly replacement. Supported by major chiller manufacturers, HFOs have been widely adopted in green chiller plant for both New / Retrofitting projects in Hong Kong, positioning them at the forefront of next-generation refrigerant technology. In this seminar, the speaker will share his insight on the evolution of refrigerant technologies, highlight the advantages of HFOs, and focus on the essential safety considerations for practical implementation.
