The Three Pillars Of F-Gas II

EU-Regulation(EU) 517/ 2014

• Service Ban (Control of use in article 13 (3))

Jan 2020 STOP of HFC and HFC-containing (GWP>2500) above

40t of CO2-e (e.g. >10,2kg R404A); means Supermarkets,

industrial Refrigeration, larger food stores, etc.

•Exceptions:a. Military Equipment

b. Applications with product temp <-50°C, e.g. R23/ R508

c. Recycled/ Reclaimed HFCs with GWP>2500 is allowed until

end of 2029

The potential solutions (1)

– Not-In-Kind refrigerants

• Many large end users have a program for new install

• A lot of “noise” in the market but what are the facts?

• Must play a part but the drawbacks limit speed and spread of

implementation

Can 100% of the market go to “naturals” to meet

the cap?

Confidential

“Natural” refrigerants

Use constraints Market Use

CO2

• New systems only.• Retrofit not possible (high pressure).• Inefficient in high ambient climates.

• Good choice for supermarket low T in cascade with HFC for med T – use growing in EU.

• 100% CO2 systems only practical in N.EU.

hydrocarbons

• New systems only.• Very small charge size only; retrofit not

allowed (highly flammable; codes/standards).

• Common choice for hermetically sealed small refrigeration/freezing equipment.

• Growing use for some low T freezing in discount supermarkets in EU.

ammonia• New systems only; retrofit not allowed

(flammable, toxicity, codes/standards).• Non-public areas.

• Common for industrial refrigeration.

• “Naturals” not possible/practical for retrofit, top-up of installed systems.• “Naturals” have constraints for range of new equipment use – safety, cost, codes/standards.• Limited industry capacity & skilled contractors for installed base replacement with “Natural”

equipment.

Source: EPEE Bangkok presentation 27.06.2013

The potential solutions (2)

– “Lower” GWP HFCs

• 407A/407F are offered for retrofit or new install

• Large marketing effort has influenced uptake

• Proven energy savings versus R-404A

• Lower GWP than R-404A

• 407F has issues with high discharge temperature

• GWP level means likely to have to replace in future

• Only an interim solution

How will the market change by 2030?

The Immediate Problem (1)

Large banks of installed R-404A/R-507A

Equipment still being installed on R-404A

R-404A is today still a cheap option and widely used

The market does not understand what is coming

Inertia from end users and contractors – EU wide

Confusion in the market - R-???

“Non-FGas” are best sometimes; not always.HFOs are necessary for

cost-effective, safe transition.

NOW

Low GWP Options - HFOs

•HFO-1234yf CF3CF=CH2

Unique properties:

Stable in operating system

Not stable in atmosphere = low GWP

Efficient performance

CFC Chloro-Fluoro-Carbon

HCFC Hydro-Chloro-Fluoro-Carbon

HFC Hydro-Fluoro-Carbon

HFO Hydro-Fluoro-Olefin

A long term solution

– HFO blends – why?

• GWPs low enough to be maintained under the cap

• A range of products for different applications

• Formulated to give best balance of properties

• Can use in existing equipment

• Easier to handle than Not-In-Kind refrigerants

Carrier Transicold has announced at the CV Show that it will offer R452A as an optional alternative to the existing R404A refrigerant. R452A has the same cooling capacity, fuel efficiency, reliability and refrigerant charge as R404A, but offers a 45 per cent GWP reduction.

Over 200 supermarkets already Retrofitted in Europe. Germany , Netherlands, Spain , Italy, Belgium, Austria, UK,

Greece, Sweden ...

Different makes of compressors and operating modes and technologies such as MT , LT, cascade systems…

More than 1000 installations using Opteon™ XP40 by

the end of 2016.

Minor or no adjustments made and no component or

oil changes needed.

To date all retrofits to Opteon® XP40 have shown an

improvement in refrigeration system power

consumption compared with R-404A/ R-507A and R-

407F.

Many more projects with major supermarkets and

other refrigeration applications are in progress.
