Energy efficient replacement
Temperature control specialist ICS Cool Energy is advising companies to find alternative solutions to their existing R22 systems before 1st January 2015, when recycled or reclaimed hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) will no longer be used to service refrigeration and air conditioning equipment: the company recommends energy efficient Turbocor systems.
Under the law, refrigeration or air-conditioning units found to use HCFCs, (particularly the ozone depleting R22 refrigerant), will become obsolete, and will no longer be able to be serviced.
ICS Cool Energy recommends that sites with existing cooling systems of poor condition, or those with systems not meeting current cooling loads, should upgrade to one that uses non-ozone depleting refrigerants, such as R410A and R134a.
