Part 2

• Existing R-22 Management

22
EPAs Definition of Venting
Effective July 1, 1992, it is unlawful to
knowingly vent, release or dispose of CFCs and
HCFCs during the repair, service, maintenance or
disposal of appliances or industrial process
refrigeration equipment.
23
Increase Industry Compliance

• Stop Venting
• Price of R-22 Must Increase
• Programs must be in place to make it easy to
  return refrigerants and benefit those who do

24
Whos Making It Easy?

• These Wholesalers are making it easy to return
  recovered R-22

25
Existing R-22 Management

• Rule 1
• Rule 2 Get involved with R-22 return programs
  that benefit your company
• Rule 3 Dont mix any other refrigerants with
  your recovered R-22!

Dont VENT!
26
To Summarize Our Concerns

• Will good R-22 recovery/reclaim programs be
  enough to fill the service needs?
• Will there be a shortage of R-22?
• Will the price of R-22 increase radically?

27
No One REALLY knows
28
Part 3

• R-22 Alternatives

Choosing An R-22 Alternative Refrigerant
31
What Do We Want From Our R-22 Alternative
Refrigerant?

• No Major Hardware Changes To Equipment
• Use The Same Oil Type
• Fast, Simple Conversion
• Sufficient Capacity
• At Least the Same Energy Efficiency
• Reliability
• Same Toxicity
• Flammability Classification as R-22
• Zero Ozone Depleting Potential
• Reasonable Cost

32
What You Should Do?

• Make a choice.
• Learn all you can about your R-22 alternative
  choice.
• Use that alternative choice as many times as you
  can so that retrofits will become familiar and
  easy.
