R-22: THE IMPLICATIONS OF NEW LEGISLATION

January 19, 2009

R-22: THE IMPLICATIONS OF NEW LEGISLATION

If your air conditioning system is over six years old now is the time to check out this legislation. From 1 Jan 2010 it will be illegal to use virgin HCFCs such as R-22 when servicing and maintaining air conditioning equipment.

If your air conditioning system is over six years old now is the time to check out this legislation
From 1 Jan 2010 it will be illegal to use virgin hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) such as R-22 (which has been the most commonly used refrigerant) when servicing and maintaining air conditioning equipment.Until the 31 December 2014 temporary use of recycled/recovered R-22 is possible but availability could be limited and costs high. From 1 January 2015 sales or use of recycled/recovered R-22 will be prohibited.

The regulation also calls for all operators of HCFC refrigeration systems to take “all precautionary measures practicable” to prevent and minimise leakage.It states that all fixed equipment systems with a refrigerant charge greater than 3kg will require an annual check for leakage. This must be undertaken by qualified personnel and they will be required to properly recover any HCFC refrigerant removed from a system.

All of Watkins Hire chillers and air conditioners utilse R407C and R410a during your R22 phase out or replacement we are the only Chiller rental company that complies 100% with the pending legislation.
