In the second installment of this series, the topic of flammability is addressed. We ask Chemours technical trainer Don Gillis what steps contractors should take to mitigate the risk of ignition when working with A2L refrigerants.
In comments to EPA’s proposed rule regarding HFC management, many HVACR stakeholders expressed concern over issues including tracking cylinders, training technicians, and reclaiming refrigerant.
The HVACR industry was initially surprised by a date-of-install requirement, mandating installation of certain equipment by January 1, 2025, but EPA extended sell-through period to January 1, 2026.
HVAC contractors that carefully follow the proper sequence of operations can minimize the threat of CO₂ leakage for their customers, themselves, and the environment
Chemours has launched a global F-gas Lifecycle Program that is designed to promote the safe global recovery, reclamation, and reuse of fluorinated gases (F-gases).
Manufacturers have been preparing for the transition to low-GWP refrigerants for a number of years and are now introducing a wide range of innovative commercial refrigeration technologies.
