Shrieve is proud to be a Silver Sponsor at NATURAL REFRIGERANTS 2025, taking place on March 13-14 at the World Trade Center Bucharest.? This year’s event continues its tradition of supporting discussions on environmental regulations, best practices, compliance, and advancements in refrigeration technology. Following the success of Shrieve’s participation in the 2023 edition, Senior Application Engineer, Manuel Mu?oz Alonso, will return to deliver an updated presentation titled: “Lubricant Options for Natural Refrigerants: A Lubricant-Refrigerant Interaction Overview Update” Building on last year’s discussion on ammonia (NH?) and R-744 (CO?), this year’s presentation will also explore hydrocarbon refrigerants and their role in high-temperature heat pumps (HTHP). With the industry moving towards higher efficiency systems and high-temperature applications, understanding the interaction between lubricants and natural refrigerants is more important than ever. Manuel’s session will equip attendees with technical knowledge to optimize oil selection and system performance under varying working conditions. Now in its third edition, NATURAL REFRIGERANTS is the only event in Romania dedicated exclusively to the refrigeration industry. The two-day conference, exhibition, and networking event brings together over 200 professionals from across the sector, including technicians, engineers, consultants, installers, service providers, and representatives from the food and petrochemical industries. We look forward to connecting with industry experts in Bucharest. See you there! #HVACR #NaturalRefrigerants #SustainableCooling #Shrieve
