CE-marking…why?

Before all countries had there local regulations…

Easier product trade in europe and worldwide

Safer products both for environmental and humans

CE-mark secures manufactor taking full responsibility regarding european directives

CE = “Conformité Européenne” wich means fulfills CE-directives

CE-directives = European Law

Refrigeration directives…

Pressure Equipment Directive - 97/23 EC (PED) Machine directive - 2006/42 EC (MD) Low Voltage directive - 2006/95/EC (LVD) Electromagnetical directive - 2004/108/EG

EN 378-2 = C-standard

Design according to this standard means

Directives Fulfilled!

Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 97/23 EC)

The pressure equipment is classified according to 4 categories (I-IV)

The categories are determined by:– Pressure (max pressure the equipment is made

for)– Volume (for pipes: diameter)– Content (medium)

The category is set with the help of nine (9) different diagrams

Diagram 1- Pressure vessels, Ps= Max allowed pressure in bar that the supplier state that the pressure vessel are designed after.

Diagram 7. Pipes, DN = The nominal size of the pipe.

Pressure Equipment Directive (PED 97/23 EC)

The category give a so called Module according to the table below. The Module gives the extent of the control required.

What do we sell?

Modules/units

Plant

Assembly

JBT delivers units and separate declaration of conformities

JBT delivers a complete unit but the

customer is responsible for integration and an accredited notified body approves installation. CE certificates on sub units.

JBT delivers a complete assembly– JBT is integrator and supplies CE certificate on system

Who is the integrator and responsible for the approval?

There are three different players in the project that can take on the roll as an integrator:

Refrigeration contractor - The company installing piping and the other equipment.

JBT – In this case JBT delivers a complete refrigeration system with subunits from several different suppliers, including piping.

The customer – In this case the customer is building the system himself with internal resources.

SOME REFRIGERANTS AND ITS IMPACT ON ENVIRONMENT AND HUMAN SAFETY

22

NATURAL REFRIGERANTS Natural refrigerants are the answer for high capacity and high efficiency operation.

• Air - R 729• Water - R 718• Ammonia - R 717• Carbon dioxide - R 744• Hydrocarbons, such as propane - R 290 and

isobutane - R 600a

 NH3 – Ammonia

- Because of the characteristic smell, ammonia it is the only refrigerant in the world that warns long before it is dangerous and gives persons chance to move away.

- Ammonia is toxic when inhaling, corrosive to the eyes, respiratory, skin and flammable at certain conditions.

- Therefor it has to be treated with care and all ammonia systems must be designed with safety in mind.

- At the same time, unlike most refrigerants, Ammonia has a characteristic smell that can be detected by humans at very low concentrations which give a warning signal if having leakage.

- Already at around 20-25 ppm you will feel very uncomfortable.23

Energy efficiency Ammonia is one of the most energy-efficient applications, the application range from high to low temperature. Normally flowing ammonia system is 15-20% more energy efficient than a DX R404A counterpart.

Environment Ammonia is the most environmentally friendly refrigerant. It belongs to the group of so-called "natural" refrigerants, and it has both GWP (Global Warming Potential) and ODP (ozone depletion potential) of zero

Smaller pipe sizesBoth vapour and liquid ammonia requires smaller diameter than most chemical refrigerants.

24

Better heat transferAmmonia has better heat transfer properties than the majority of chemical refrigerants and therefore allows devices with a smaller heat transfer area used. These properties also favours the thermodynamic efficiency of the system and reduces the operational costs of the system.

Refrigerant costIn many countries, the cost of ammonia (per kg) significantly lower than the cost of HFC

Safety As described earlier, Ammonia is toxic when inhaling, corrosive to the eyes, respiratory, skin and flammable at certain conditions. That is why it must be handled carefully, and all the ammonia systems must be designed with safety in mind. 25

In Sweden: NGV (24 h): 20 ppm TGV (15 min): 50 ppm

Alarm levels:C: Leakage, non acute: 50 - 300ppm B: Acute: 500 - 1000ppm A. High level , plant is stopped = Protection of people > 3000ppm

26

SYNTHETIC REFRIGERANTS 1. CFC (Clorofluorcarbon - a member of the FC family containing only chlorine, fluorine and carbon.)

The Montreal Protocol of 1987 has phased out the production of CFC refrigerants. CFC is not to be used at all since January 1, 2000. The actual CFC refrigerants are: R 12, and azeotropic blend R 502.  

27

2. HCFC (Hydrofluorocarbon - a member of FC family containing hydrogen, chlorine, fluorine and carbon.)

HCFC has limited future for new design. HCFC are not allowed to be used in new installations or to re fill. A total stop is expected from Jan 1, 2015. The main HCFC refrigerant is: R 22 and blends with R 22. 

28

3. HFC (Fluorohydrocarbons - a family of chemicals containing fluorine hydrogen and carbon.)

HFC refrigerants are the answer to many refrigeration applications. Pure HFC or blends should be avoided for large size food freezing and food preservation.

Below some HFC as alternatives to R 22

29

R134a can be an option upon conversion in cases where a power loss can be accepted or if the compressor displacement can be increased enough without other factors adversely affected. Suitable mainly for chilling applications. Oil change required

R404a (R507) is usually the best option in the refrigerator and freezer facilities but an increase in power output and higher condensing pressure must be considered. In air conditioning the energy efficiency is reduced and electrical output will increase significantly. Oil change required.

30

31

R407C is a proven alternative in facilities with appropriate heat exchangers but requires that the oil is changed to ester oil except in rotary compressors which typically special low viscosity alkyl benzene oils are recommended.

R417A (Isceon 59) is poorly documented but is interesting when the cost of oil change is considered too high while capacity reduction and some uncertainty is acceptable, for example, if the unit is to be replaced relatively soon.

R410A is not an option for conversion of existing R22 systems

For small refrigeration plants (~30-50 kW), HFC is attractive since the investment is much less than if installing an ammonia plant.

Freon's are not normally considered as dangerous for people, but it is well known that Freon's has a very big impact on the environment.

32

GWP Global warming potential, compared to the GWP of CO2. All GWP figures here are based on the 100 year time horizon.ODP Ozone Depletion Potential - compared to ODP of R 11 which is defined as 1.
