QUICK ANSWEROn May 26, 2026, EPA finalized the Technology Transitions Reconsideration Rule at 91 Fed. Reg. 31284, effective July 27, 2026. It raises interim global warming potential (GWP) limits and…

Latin America and the Caribbean have been building cold chain capacity at a pace that outstrips much of the developed world, and 2026 has not broken that trend even as…

The condenser is where an ammonia system gives up its heat, and getting it wrong is expensive in two directions. Undersize it and the plant runs at a higher condensing…

Two used screw compressors can carry the same nameplate capacity and the same asking price and still deliver very different operating economics once installed. The difference usually comes down to…

The cold storage sector spent the last decade in expansion mode. That expansion has not stopped, but in 2026 it changed character. Capital is more expensive, operators are more disciplined…

Refrigerant handling sits at the intersection of two things every used-equipment transaction touches: regulatory compliance and equipment value. When a system is decommissioned, what happens to its refrigerant affects whether…

Compressors get the attention, but a refrigeration plant lives or dies on its vessels and heat exchangers. They hold the refrigerant charge, separate liquid from vapor, cool intermediate-stage gas, and…

Equipment shopping is the wrong place to start a cold storage project. Buy a compressor before you understand the load and you risk an expensive mismatch in either direction: oversized…

For most of the past century, industrial ammonia refrigeration meant large central plants holding thousands of pounds of refrigerant in flooded or liquid-overfeed systems. Low-charge ammonia turns that model on…
