This webinar will highlight the advantages of turbocompressors utilizing Honeywell Solstice® HFO refrigerant technology compared to standard positive displacement compressors in the HVAC industry. Special guests will include industry experts from the leading turbomachinery design and manufacturing company, Concepts NREC, as well as HVAC market leader, Danfoss, featuring its Turbocor® oil-free compressors.
We will highlight how refrigerant selection plays a key role in different mechanical, aerodynamic and thermodynamic aspects, and how this translates into associated costs. We will also feature a selection of applications where Solstice®-powered turbocompressors excel and how they can be scaled and replicated among other industries.
