October 15, 2024 - Club member John Lamont gave us an overview of what the impact of new refrigerant requirements will be on our air conditioners. The new refrigerants are changing from R22 to 410. Daiken is leading the industry regarding the global warming potential of air conditioning. The testing will be more stringent and all support equipment has to change. Baseline efficiency will increase by 80%. Club members expressed a keen interest in the subject and peppered John with lots of questions. Thanks John for keeping us aware of what's going on in your world.

August 27, 2024 - Steve Trimble, a Rotarian in the Tempe Downtown Club and a Professor of Practice in mechanical and aerospace engineering at Arizona State University, gave us an overview of many of the projects he has worked on - an impressive list indeed.
