GREEN GUIDE PART ONE
Tecumseh is A2L ready – are you?
Technical program director at Tecumseh, Regis Leportier talks about preparing for an efficient and sustainable refrigerant transition in the EU.
F
or some years Tecumseh has been preparing for the transition to the very low GWP refrigerants called A2L
by testing and validating compressors and condensing units. Compliance with safety requirements (related to people and goods), the highest efficiency and reliability are key considerations at design stage to make the solution cost effective for the contractor and the system owner. As a result, direct expansion commercial refrigeration equipment from 1 to 20Kw are now ready for sustainable cooling. The use of very low GWP refrigerants will

make it possible to achieve of the objectives imposed by F-Gas by 2030, with no current vision of limited use. They are all F-Gas compliant and bring energy savings, which is the key to the future and the only true definition of the long term. Proposing a new installation today in 2020, with equipment that complies with the use of an A2L fluid, will not only guarantee a ‘future proof’ solution for the customer but also the right quantities of refrigerants needed in Europe for long-term refrigeration. Cost efficient and reliable alternatives could make the entire industry active in its
role, supporting food processing, storage and distribution, the comfort and safety of people, the reduction of food losses, the improvement of health, thanks to refrigeration components and products and essential links in the cold chain.
The recent focus on hygiene due to the
Coronavirus situation will push us even more strongly to endorse sustainable solutions at reasonable cost of ownership.
It is necessary to remember that the main measure of the F-Gas Regulation has the potential to reduce emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases through its article 3
