Many new regulations have been put in place to phase out refrigerants that are not sustainable for the environment (such as HCFCs and HFCs). Recent regulatory requirements focus on reducing ozone depletion potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP) of existing refrigerants.

 

These regulations can make it difficult to choose which is the better choice for your facility: balancing cost, performance, safety, and sustainability while complying with regulations. 
 
HFOs like Opteon™ refrigerants have zero ODP and low GWP, placing them among the most environmentally sustainable refrigerants on the market. HFOs can easily be converted into existing systems with minimal downtime, dodging the high cost of constructing a new system.
 
Some questions related to new regulations become difficult to answer, such as:

• What about hydrocarbons?
• Is it time to upgrade my system?
• Am I ready for SNAP changes?

Download our white paper “The Refrigerant Balancing Act: Making Sense of Changing Regulations and Technologies” to answer these and many other questions. The more you know the better choice you will make.
