The toughest ticket in sports is often one for The Masters. But behind the walls of Augusta National sits an even tougher badge to get, one for Berckmans Place; the VIP area of a place filled with VIPs everywhere you turn.

Behind the fifth fairway is a golfers paradise, where several different restaurants and bars (with air conditioning!) allow the privileged few to enjoy the event with all the comforts of home. Theres all the complimentary food and beverages you can consume, as well as plenty of TVs to watch the action.

But no, you still cant have your cell phone on you. Those are still to be left behind the gates as is required of all patrons at Augusta National.

The themes are true to the history of the club and the tournament, such as Ikes for the former President and Augusta National member Dwight D. Eisenhower. Mackenzies is a Scottish restaurant and bar named after course Alister Mackenzie. And if Calamity Janes sounds familiar, it was also the name of club co-founder Bobby Jones infamous putter.

But one of the big appeals is the full-sized replica greens just like on the big course that the lucky few can putt between meals or beverages. Its just like being out there on the 7th, 14th and 16th greens at Augusta, with Pro V1s and plenty of high-end putters available for you as well. Oh, and an actual Augusta caddie to help you find the right line.

Berckmans opened in 2013 after a test run in 2012, but ever since it has become one of the most treasured tickets in all of world sport. And experiencing The Masters this way at the low price of just $6000 for a weekly badge might actually sound like a bargain. But the hard part is getting the badge in the first place, as theres no way for the general public to acquire them. Only sponsors and members at Augusta have access, and even those sales are limited.

So if anyone asks you if you want to head to BPs during Masters week, we suggest you take them up on the offer. Because its an experience youre not likely to ever forget.

JHTY/JHT-YI series

Tokyo, April 5, 2022 - In June, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd., a Group company of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI), will launch a new series of large-capacity centrifugal chillers adopting the CFC-free(Note1) HFO-1234yf refrigerant having extremely low environmental impact: zero ozone depletion and a GWP(Note2) below 1. The series will have two models: the constant-speed JHT-Y and the inverter-equipped JHT-YI.

Both new models feature capacities ranging from 300 to 5,400 refrigeration tons (RT)(Note3), with the maximum capacity representing a 400 RT increase over the GART-ZE/ZEI series launched in 2017. The JHT-Y and JHT-YI are the first centrifugal chillers with capacities up to 5,400 RT offered commercially in Japan to feature a low-GWP refrigerant. Together with the ETI-Z series of centrifugal chillers in the small-to-medium capacity range launched in 2015, MHI Thermal Systems will now offer a full lineup of low-GWP refrigerant models in variations spanning from 150 to 5,400 RT.

The new series also adopts an all-new type of compressor. Increasing the variety of models enables selection of the optimal compressor to match the output of the chiller, to realize high performance throughout the capacity range. The constant-speed model features a rated COP(Note4) of 6.9, which, as before, provides one of the worlds highest levels of energy efficiency together with compact size. Chillers in the new series can also be controlled with supreme precision using the latest microcomputer operation panel, and both the constant-speed and inverter models can respond to diverse applications including low-temperature, heat-pump and heat-recovery specifications.

The HFO-1234yf refrigerant, which is also used in car air conditioners and vending machines, has an ozone depletion potential (ODP)(Note5) of zero, its atmospheric greenhouse effect being on a par with natural refrigerants. Because the HFO-1234yf results in no harmful emissions into the atmosphere, requires no capture after usage, and causes no degradation, it is not subject to Japans Revised Fluorocarbons Recovery and Destruction Law(Note6). This contrasts with equipment adopting high-GWP refrigerants for example, HFC-134a, which was widely used before the revised legislation took effect; because such systems have significant adverse impact on global warming, laws now require reductions in both their production and usage volumes. As regulations on the marketing of equipment using high-GWP refrigerants will be tightened further starting in 2025 (in the domestic market), today demands are calling for early upgrading to systems adopting low-GWP refrigerants of the kind used in the new JHT-Y/JHT-YI series.

MHI Thermal Systems, Japans leading manufacturer of centrifugal chillers, has delivered many units for district cooling/heating, factory air-conditioning, etc. Going forward, the Company will continue to focus on developing high-performance products using low-GWP refrigerants, as its way of contributing to environmental protection on a global scale.
