August 13 - Rhodia has introduced a “unique marker” in the composition of its series 9 refrigerants, to combat what it believes are counterfeit fluids being offered illegally on the market.
The company believes that, since 1999, products have been placed on the market that have not been sourced from it, and which infringe its sole licensing rights.
The chemical signature will be added to the refrigerant in specific amounts, to defeat attempts to mix marked and unmarked products as a way of avoiding detection. The company says the marker was introduced 12 months ago, and that it was now in a position to rapidy pin-point counterfeit supplies.

August 11 - In 2002 the city of Nuremberg will host IKK, the International Trade Fair of refrigeration, air-conditioning and ventilation.
The range of refrigeration products displayed at IKK includes components and units for the assembly of refrigeration and air-conditioning plants for buildings, commerce, industry and transport; refrigerants; refrigerated cabinets, cold storage cells and cooling units; tools and supplies for installation and servicing; equipment for the disposal of refrigerants and oils; fuels and products for plant running.
The second strong point of IKK’ consists in equipment, components and peripheral systems for room and building air-conditioning in the medium and medium lower power ranges.

August 7 - Sanyo Electric Co. announced last December that it has completed Japan’s largest photo-voltaic power generation system “Solar Ark” within the premises of Gifu Works. About 5,000 sheets of solar cells were placed on the huge building 315m wide and 37m high which was modeled after the “ark”. The max. output is 630 kW.
After being subjected to demonstration test from the beginning of 2002, the “Solar Ark” will be put to fullscale operation from April.

August 1 - DuPont Fluoroproducts announced it has reached an out-of-court settlement with a major European fluorochemicals manufacturer over infringement of DuPont patents for certain hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blend refrigerants.
The infringement allegation by DuPont was primarily focused on the manufacturer exceeding the scope of its authorisation to manufacture, market and sell DuPont Suva 404A.
In 2001, DuPont initiated a patent stewardship program within its distribution network in the U.S., Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America, and notified the network of possible unauthorized manufacture, import, marketing and sales of refrigerant blends R401A, R401B, R402A, R402B, R404A, R407C, R408A, R409A, R507 and R410A.
