GREEN GUIDE PART ONE
and according to the conclusions of the Commission report of 26 September 2011 on the application, effects and adequacy of the existing containment measures, if fully implemented.
In best practice it means keeping the
refrigerant inside the system with appropriate maintenance or by selecting hermetically sealed components and equipment contributing their best to efficient cooling as well as a strong environmental preservation.
The second main remarkable measure of the F-Gas 517/2014 is linked to the phase down mechanism which will drive us to use lower GWP refrigerants to sustain the availability of sufficient metric tons of refrigerant in the coming years.
By 2021 the coming big ‘cut’ of refrigerant placed into the market will be lowered by 45% of the reference period and even up to 60% if we consider the tonnage included by the pre- charged equipment.
In addition to this mechanism, new product bans have been in place since January 2020 such as the use of stationary refrigeration
equipment using a refrigerant with a GWP >2500 or portable air conditioners using refrigerant with a GWP >150.
The measures of this regulation require a reduction in GWP. A2L type refrigerants, which are mildly flammable, make it possible to respond favorably to the normative and regulatory framework imposed in Europe since 2015.
Why A2L are the solution in commercial
Why A2L are the solution in commercial refrigeration systems from 1 to 20 kW
From a user’s perspective:
F-Gas is the driver, the soonest the better to avoid cold chain maintenance issue.
Sustainable refrigerant, industry choice from a technical and economical perspective Total cost of ownership (TCO) linked to the energy efficiency of A2Ls is 10 to 20% better vs other natural alternatives
It’s no more complicated than before: Selection, handling, maintenance is as easy as today with HFCs – beyond a few specific precautions taken in terms of safety, over the lifetime of an installation, working with
A2Ls is similar to HFCs. Very short potential learning curve. Thermodynamics very similar to HFCs.
Main risk assessment (charge limit, ATEX..) is managed by product design, in our new generation of condensing Units SILENSYS Advanced. The remaining part for the contractor is ~20%: Choice of the right location for the condensing unit and follow good practices.
No over-equipment required, Tecumseh condensing units are Eco-design compliant (MEPS) so with high efficiency compare to previous generation of condensing units, The design of this A2L new generation of condensing unit has been developed to ensure proper running at very high ambient temperature (remember 2019 heatwave). The guarantee of a simple solution
The choice of a Tecumseh products ‘Safe by Design’ takes away the constraints
Security of goods and people in term of risks (flammability, charge limit…) are managed by design.
