NevadaNano’s Molecular Property Spectrometer outperformed other technologies in a recent Air Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Technology Institute study.
NevadaNano announced its partnership with Emerson to jointly develop refrigerant gas detector products that will provide a solution to the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVACR) industry for refrigerant leak detection.
“We are proud to partner with Emerson to develop essential solutions that can help lower the impact of existing HVACR equipment on the global environment and facilitate the safe use of low GWP refrigerant gases,” said Ralph Whitten, CEO of NevadaNano.
NevadaNano’s Molecular Property Spectrometer (MPS) technology, together with Emerson’s leading HVACR technologies experience, including flammable gas sensing products, creates a strong leadership position for gas sensing solutions. The MPS technology is a patented platform programmable for a wide range of A1, A2L, and A3 refrigerant gases such as R32, R454, and R407.
"Our solution enables original equipment manufacturers to have their product line compliant with federal HFC phasedown regulations known as the AIM act,” said John Rhodes, group president, Digital & Connected Technologies for Emerson. "The mandate shifts the industry from high GWP to lower GWP refrigerants, including mildly flammable A2L refrigerants.”
NevadaNano’s MPS outperformed all other technologies in the Air Conditioning, Heating, & Refrigeration Technology Institute (AHRTI) study (Project 9014) published August 13, 2021. The study incorporates 28 test requirements from UL, IEC, ASHRAE15, and the JRA regulatory agencies. The combined “lab on a chip” allows the sensor to pass all tests, including vibration and resistance to condensing environments and poisoning chemicals. The Emerson gas detector will allow the HVACR industry to deploy smarter A2L systems.
