Rapid Exchange provides customers with U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)-certified refrigerant recovery cylinders, facilitating safe refrigerant recovery and transport.
Hudson Technologies and Chemours have agreed to a licensing deal that allows Hudson to sell four types of reclaimed refrigerants under the brand name “Freon.”
Hudson will sell reclaimed refrigerants under the names Freon R-11, Freon R-12, Freon R-123, and Freon R-22, and use the Freon brand name in its marketing materials.
In the first installment in this series, we talk with Don Gillis who is a technical trainer with Chemours. Gillis travels the country providing top-notch training on the refrigerant transition. We ask Gillis how contractors can safely recover and recycle A2L refrigerants.
The reclamation of HFC refrigerants is now essential so that existing HVAC systems, and systems that can be sold through 2025, can be serviced for the next couple of decades.
Growing demand for recovered HFCs highlights the importance of proper refrigerant recovery. Unfortunately, counterfeit recovery cylinders are emerging amid this increasing need.
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.
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).
A lot of refrigerant reclaimers aren’t charging for mixed refrigerants anymore, which may in turn, mean an opportunity for HVAC contractors to make more money.
