ARC Structure

Committee Structure and Facilities

The ARC Board of Directors authorizes all research projects and establishes Technical Advisory Committees (TAC) as necessary to oversee specific projects. A Refrigerant Technical Advisory Committee was very active in ARC's early years, investigating alternative refrigerants for use in refrigerator-freezers and room air conditioners. Currently, an Insulation TAC is overseeing projects related to polyurethane foam insulation used in refrigerator-freezers.  Research work is accomplished in members' facilities, universities, or government or private laboratories as necessary.

Participants/Suppliers

The Appliance Research Consortium is organized so that interested suppliers of components, products, or services can participate in Consortium projects and contribute their technical expertise.
