REFRIGERANTS
Refrigerant reclamation is key for refrigerants with GWP >2500
Climalife’s Peter Dinnage talks about how a good reclamation strategy can ease the transition to low GWP refrigerants.
T
he recovery of HFCs from refrigeration and air conditioning systems is
mandatory under the F-Gas regulation to prevent emissions of high GWP refrigerants to the atmosphere.
From 01 January 2020 it will be illegal to use virgin refrigerants with a GWP >2500 for servicing stationary refrigeration systems except where the system operates below -50°C or where the system charge is below 40 CO2
-eq tonnes, such as 10.2 kg of R-404A). Reclaimed or recycled product can still be
used for servicing, but the availability of these high GWP refrigerants will be dependent on systems being converted or replaced and demand for reclaimed product not
exceeding the amount that comes back for re-processing over the next few years.
