RE: [DML] Refrigerants and the Future

[Travis Goodwin <tgoodwin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are correct sir. Here's the info:

Genetron 22 is a single-component HCFC refrigerant manufactured to meet the
tightest of manufacturer's specification, and can be used to service any
equipment designed to use R-22. R-22 is popular in residential, commercial
and industrial applications.
 
Genetron 22 is available in a variety of package sizes, including 30#
refillable cylinders in Canada, and 30# and 50# DOT-39 recyclable cylinders
in the U.S., South and Latin America, and Asia. Larger sizes include 125,
1000 and 1750 pound cylinders and tanks, and bulk deliveries can be obtained
for larger projects.
 
Refrigerant HCFC-22 or R-22 is being phased out globally by countries as
part of an international agreement on ozone-depleting chemicals. By 2010
most countries will no longer allow R-22 to be used in new refrigeration
systems, and R-22 refrigerant for servicing systems will become less
available over time.
 
Honeywell recommends that supermarkets, bakeries, and other users of
commercial refrigeration equipment consider converting to one of the
following R-22 replacement products:
 
- Genetron 404A (R-404A)
- Genetron 407C (R-407C)
- Genetron AZ-50 (R-507)

I was just at a local refrigeration supply. They had a brochure from
one of the refrigerent manufacurers on the counter. The gist of it is
that R-22 will be phased out in the future. You might ask, Why care?
The problem is that R-22 is a component in many of the blended
"drop-in" replacements for R-12. So now we will need a replacement for
the replacements! You will probably see A/C service take another jump
in pricing. The best advice is to get your system serviced and as
leak-proof as possible. Stay with R-12 as long as you can, it is still
better than any of the alternatives whatever they may be in the
future. For more info you can go to www.genetron.com
