Using alternative refrigerant products


Use of alternative refrigerants for the conversion or new design of refrigeration systems

The phase down for the CO2 equivalent quota which is embedded in the current F-Gas Regulation already reveals significant changes in the prices and availability of the HFC refrigerants used to date. The service ban for systems with refrigerants with a GWP > 2500 and a load with a CO2 equivalent of more than 40t and the usage ban of refrigerants with a GWP > 2500 for stationary new systems is also moving closer and closer (from 01.01.2020). Below you will find some info on possible alternatives with chemical low GWP refrigerants in relation to the conversion of systems or new design.
