Pu­bli­ca­ti­ons & Vi­de­os

05/2019 Pu­bli­ca­ti­on - Bro­chu­re Safe food and me­di­ci­ne with un­in­ter­rup­ted cold chains - Les­sons from the field (EN)

Along the cold chain, a wide variety of cooling technologies are used by shipping, warehousing and handling companies. Improving the cold chain has the potential to provide significant benefits in developing countries.

05/2018 Pu­bli­ca­ti­on - Tech­ni­cal Pu­bli­ca­ti­on Im­pli­ca­ti­ons of na­tu­ral ref­ri­ge­r­ants for coo­ling tech­no­lo­gies - Con­ver­ting from HFCs/HCFCs to na­tu­ral ref­ri­ge­r­ants

A guide for refrigeration manufacturers providing arguments and guidance for changing directly from HFCs to natural refrigerants in energy efficient systems, rather than focusing on intermediate HFC-substitutes (such as HFOs).

09/2017 Pu­bli­ca­ti­on - Tech­ni­cal Pu­bli­ca­ti­on Gui­de­li­ne: Ma­nage­ment and De­struc­tion of Exis­ting Ozone De­p­le­ting Sub­stan­ces Banks (EN / ES / RS)

Guideline on the Manual Dismantling of Refrigerators and Air Conditioners

12/2016 Pu­bli­ca­ti­on - Tech­ni­cal Pu­bli­ca­ti­on Pro­mo­ting Food Se­cu­ri­ty and Safe­ty via Cold Chains

This concept paper presents different existing and potential cold chains for food products and give an overview of existing challenges and possible solutions towards better cold chain coverage, improved cold chain management and reduced food losses in developing countries.

07/2016 Pu­bli­ca­ti­on - Tech­ni­cal Pu­bli­ca­ti­on Good Prac­tices in Ref­ri­ge­ra­ti­on (EN / BS / ES)

This updated manual provide professional guidance on how to service and maintain refrigeration systems operating with ozone-friendly alternative refrigerants to CFCs and HCFCs.

03/2013 Pu­bli­ca­ti­on - Tech­ni­cal Pu­bli­ca­ti­on Tech­ni­cal Hand­book: NA­MAs in the ref­ri­ge­ra­ti­on, air con­di­tio­n­ing and fo­am sec­tors

The technical handbook and its modules aim to serve policy makers and practitioners in developing countries as a comprehensive guideline for the preparation and implementation of nationally appropriate mitigation actions (NAMA) in the RAC and foam sectors.

09/2012 Pu­bli­ca­ti­on - Tech­ni­cal Pu­bli­ca­ti­on Na­tu­ral Fo­am Blo­wing Agents: Sustainable Ozone- and Cli­ma­te-Fri­end­ly Al­ter­na­ti­ves to HCFCs

This volume covers policy-related aspects of technology transition towards natural foam blowing agents and deals with the use in rigid and XPS foam as well as the conditions for conversion and special technolgies. Further, it presents case studies from developing countries including typical challenges and solutions.

07/2012 Pu­bli­ca­ti­on - Tech­ni­cal Pu­bli­ca­ti­on Gui­de­li­nes for the safe use of hy­dro­c­ar­bon ref­ri­ge­r­ants

A handbook for engineers, technicians, trainers and policy-makers

11/2011 Pu­bli­ca­ti­on - Tech­ni­cal Pu­bli­ca­ti­on Gui­de­li­ne: Pro­duc­tion con­ver­si­on of do­mestic ref­ri­ge­ra­tors from ha­lo­ge­na­ted to hy­dro­c­ar­bon ref­ri­ge­r­ants (EN / ES)

This guideline is intended to provide information for planning a conversion from an existing domestic refrigerator manufacturing system to one using hydrocarbons.
