R22 Phase out What effect will it have on your buisness

Thu 21st Jan 10

The R22 phase out has begun, with virgin R22 refrigerant banned in January 2010.

Now the clock is ticking to replace existing R22 refrigerant systems, before supplies of reprocessed R22 become too scarce for effective system maintenance, and ultimately before the total ban on R22 in 2015.

Current users of R22 systems face:

 Soaring costs of reclaimed R22 as demands increase.

 Risk of a long down-time when no R22 is available.

 Investing in completely new systems in place of fully functional existing equipment.

 High costs and disruption to the working environment if a replacement schedule is not put into place.

 Retrofitting with a drop in refrigerant may compromise system performance and reliability.
