🚨 Tomorrow 🚨

IIAR Webinar: Fundamentals & Applications of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) for Refrigeration Systems
Wednesday, April 11, 2026
11:00 AM-12:00 PM Eastern (U.S.) time

IIAR Members: FREE
Non-members: $50

The purpose of this webinar is to provide a practical foundation in the fundamentals and real-world application of Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) in commercial and industrial refrigeration systems.

Participants will gain clear understanding of how VFDs influence system performance, energy use, demand, and reliability, with a focus on compressors, condensers, and ev***rators in commercial and industrial refrigeration systems.

The session emphasizes practical field guidance, control strategy considerations, and operational decision-making to ensure VFDs deliver measurable value without compromising system stability or safety.

Help NRF/IIAR Research Relief Valves!

IIAR and the Natural Refrigeration Foundation have initiated a research project on pressure relief valves that relieve back into refrigeration systems. We are in need of both liquid and v***r donor relief valves to conduct the research. If you know of relief valves that will be replaced as a matter of routine maintenance, we would like to have them for the project. We seek valves from all types of facilities and conditions, whether they are well maintained or not.

In return for your effort, IIAR will provide free registration to the IIAR Annual Conference (an approximate $800 value) for one (1) person from the donor facility, and one (1) person from the contractor who completes the valve replacement (if a contractor is used). IIAR will pay for shipping the donor valves to our research contractor.

If you would like to participate, please contact Matt Chojnacki, [email protected] or Eric Smith, [email protected].

🚨AIM Act Update🚨

Supreme Court Petition Challenges EPA Authority Under AIM Act

A lawsuit challenging the EPA’s authority to implement the HFC phasedown under the American Innovation and Manufacturing (AIM) Act of 2020 is seeking new life through a petition to the Supreme Court.

A non-profit civil rights group is petitioning the Supreme Court to reconsider Choice Refrigerants v. EPA on the behalf of a small, Georgia-based refrigerant business, arguing that the EPA has been given an unconstitutional amount of power, which has wiped away nearly a third of their market share.
