HFCs and HFOs: large systems cooling people and warming growing fruit

HFC and HFO refrigerants are ideal for large scale systems due to their good balance of safety and performance properties. District heating and cooling can significantly improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption compared to alternative heating and cooling approaches. Large heat pump systems reduce carbon emissions for all-year-round commercial fruit growing. In Milan, two large centrifugal chillers will provide 5 MW cooling capacity to a whole neighbourhood in the city.
