It was great to see so many folks at the 2025 AHR Expo in Orlando where we led a conversation on how the industry is responding to substantial market changes. Our session focused on how indirect leak detection saves money, especially in the face of so much uncertainty spurred by dynamic pricing and a patchwork of varied regulations across the US.

The refrigeration market is undergoing major changes. Regulations are limiting the availability of fluids with high global warming potential, leading to higher prices and supply difficulties. At the same time, refrigeration plant leakage rates and energy consumption remain high and there is technician shortage, posing a challenge for refrigeration professionals. Matelex offers a simple 3-step solution to reduce the environmental and financial impact of refrigeration and simplify the management of a fleet of installations.

“Fluid levels need to be monitored at all times, and alerts triggered in the event of an anomaly, so that rapid action can be taken to avoid production stoppages or breaks in the cold chain…24/7 monitoring is necessary, and not just in one place.”  – David Reitz quoted by Joanna R.
