Legislation of Refrigerants
A number of different refrigerants
are used in the cooling process for air conditioning and refrigeration
applications. Two key pieces of legislation are now in force, and affect what
type of refrigerants can be used: The European Fluorinated (F) Gas Regulation
and the Ozone Depleting Substances regulations (ODS). Of all the F-Gases in use,
hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) have been particularly targeted by EU
legislation for eventual phasing out by 2015. One of the most common HCFCs in
use in air conditioning applications is R22. The volume of regulations affecting
use of air conditioning in buildings seems to be growing at a rapid pace.
