There’s been a misconception in the field that mixed refrigerants cannot be reclaimed, and if they are, they’re of inferior quality. That’s simply not true.
The Cool Coalition is a global network of participants from government, cities, international organizations, businesses, finance, academia, and civil society to facilitate knowledge exchange, advocacy, and joint action toward a transition to efficient, climate-friendly cooling.
With the phasedown of HFCs, there will be a greater demand for reclaimed refrigerants. The problem is, the amount of reclaimed refrigerant being produced is inadequate to meet those demands.
A-Gas is expanding its reclamation facility with new separation towers, which will increase output of reclaimed refrigerant gases by 100% in the next 18 months.
A steep cut in HFC production occurs next year, and it appears that not enough HFCs are being recovered/reclaimed to meet the demand for existing and new HVACR equipment. Just how dire is this situation?
