‘’Helping you to make the right decision’’

R 2 2 P H A S E - O U T

Issues to consider 1. Before replacing R22 with

another synthetic refriger-ant, determine the com-patibility of your compres-sor, oil type, sealing mate-rials, pipe work strength and controls.

2. Consider that another synthetic refrigerant can significantly reduce your refrigeration capacity.

3. In addition to technical is-sues, consider total cost ownership, depreciation, health & safety and public relations issues.

Action Advantages Disadvantages

Do nothing to rely on availability of recycled R22

Virtually no investments required No guarantee of R22 supplies after 2008 at reasonable cost

Replace the R22 charge with ’F-gas’ compliant refrigerant

- Limited investment costs - Planned equipment down time and reduced impact on site operation - No ozone depletion

- Probable reduction in efficiency - May require system modifications - Contributes to global warming - Additional costs associated with F-gas regulations

Replace the R22 charge with natu-ral refrigerant

- Zero global warming impact - More energy efficient that R22

- Significant systems modifications may be required - Special regulations for the use of NH3 are applicable that may vary from country to country

Replace individual systems by a central installation using natural refrigerants

- Long term solution - Planned equipment down time re-duces the impact on operations - Modern energy efficient design, saving energy and maintenance costs - Zero global warming impact - Customers see you as environmen-tally friendly

- Significant investment costs may be required - Possible site alterations to accommo-date new plant
