All owners and operators of R22 and other HCFC refrigeration systems will have to consider the R22 phase-out and act upon now. The regulation is aimed at limiting ozone layer depletion and global warming.

In Europe from 1 January 2010 the use of virgin HCFC including R22 and R123 will be prohibited in the maintenance and servicing of refrigeration and air-conditioning systems. 

From 2010 to 2015 only reclaimed R22 and R123 can be used for service. Shortage is foreseen because the amount of reclaimed only covers about 10% of current usage. All HCFC top up will be prohibited from 1 January 2015 in Europe.

In addition the F-gas Regulation has come into force in Europe, and are putting new requirements on systems using F-gases including refrigerants like R134a, R404A, R507A, R407C, R410A, R417A, and R422D
Installation

Typical questions raised by the end users:

  • How long can I use my R22 system?
  • Will I be required to make any changes?
  • Which refrigerants are available for retrofit?
  • What is the impact on capacity & power consumption in case of retrofit?
  • Should I consider the change to a new system with natural refrigerants?
Owners of R22 systems are strongly recommended to act now in order to avoid unplanned stop and down-time.
