This card thumbdrive includes the complete proceedings of the ASHRAE/NIST Refrigerants Conference - Moving towards Sustainability. Each paper is included as a PDF, and papers are browsable from a linked table of contents and are fully searchable.

Conference papers highlight groundbreaking information, including discussions of possible low-GWP replacements for R-134a and R-410A. Complete information on new alternative refrigerants according to ASHRAE designations, including blend compositions, is presented. Through these papers, those involved in aspects of refrigerants and refrigeration technology - policymakers, manufacturers, researchers and government officials - can learn about the latest developments and directions in the field. These developments will also be of interest to consulting engineer seeking practical information on how to select new refrigerants.

The ASHRAE/NIST Refrigerants Conference - Moving towards Sustainability gathers leading international experts to discuss key issues related to the impact of refrigeration and air-conditioning on climate change. Topics include environmental effects of refrigerants, alternative low-global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants and technologies, and new refrigerant performance considerations. This is the fourth jointly sponsored conference between ASHRAE and NIST.

This conference's papers are cited/indexed in Thomson Reuters Web of Science CPCI and Index of Scientific & Technical Proceedings.
