R22

New legislation is enforcing the removal and replacement of the low temperature R22 refrigeration system. R22 refrigerants are widely used throughout process chiller and industrial refrigerant plants, although these changes in legislation will affect any company that sustains the need for or has a high requirement for R22 refrigeration.

The reasoning behind the changes in the R22 refrigeration legislation is simple - studies have shown they have a detrimental effect on the ozone layer resulting in excessive UV levels. Due to this R22 refrigerants may contribute to further environmental damage. Although many companies have undergone or are in the process of R22 replacement, huge conversions still need to be undertaken to ensure that the 2015 deadline for completely phasing out R22 refrigerants is accomplished
