Where the Market HVAC & Industrial Cooling is headed – April 2025

By passion, by vocation, or simply because it’s our job — at EVROPROM, we’re committed to staying on top of everything happening in the world of chillers, industrial refrigeration, HVAC, and sustainable cooling.

To help you stay in the loop, here’s our fresh digest of the most important industry news and trends for April 2025:

Global Highlights

Carrier Invests in HVAC Education

Carrier opened a Center of Excellence for HVAC training in partnership with Jamia Millia Islamia University in India.
The goal: to prepare a new wave of skilled professionals for the growing cooling and ventilation industry.

Shift to Low-GWP Refrigerants

HVAC manufacturers worldwide are transitioning to eco-friendly refrigerants that meet strict international regulations:

• R-454B
  
• R-1234yf/ze
  
• R290 (propane) — with GWP below 5
  

This shift helps reduce emissions and ensures compliance with F-Gas and other global standards.

Bosch Acquires York

Bosch acquired York from Johnson Controls for $8 billion, strengthening its presence in the residential and light commercial HVAC sectors and opening new opportunities for integration.

Industry Trends

Rising Demand for Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are seeing increasing demand, especially in the context of Europe’s push for decarbonization and heating cost reductions.

Danfoss and AI-Driven Systems

Danfoss continues to implement AI-based solutions for industrial HVAC management.
Algorithms help:

• Optimize energy use
  

• Regulate temperature flow
  

• Detect leaks and faults in real time

Focus on Water-Cooling

DEGRÉ CELSIUS shared recent industrial case studies, including:

• Milk cooling systems
  

• Ice cream production lines
  

• Ammonia-based water chillers — with a strong focus on energy efficiency and safety

Brand News

Clivet UK is promoting new inverter chillers using R32 refrigerant and VRV systems for residential and commercial buildings.
The brand also participated in HVAC Expo UK, presenting high-efficiency solutions for passive buildings.

FERN Groupe launched a new service division and is actively recruiting refrigeration engineers and installers.
