Author(s) : ONU Environnement (ex-PNUE), NAIR-BEDOUELLE S.

Type of monograph: Booklet

Summary

Refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC) equipment operating on ultra-low to medium global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants, e.g. HC-290 (propane), HC-600a (iso-butane) and HFC-32 (methylene fluoride), is now widely available. This market change is globally driven and in response to ozone layer depletion, climate change and the demand for higher energy efficiency. RAC servicing technicians need to have the necessary skills for the safe management of all refrigerants and equipment whose function depends on them.
The aim of this guide book is to provide RAC servicing technicians with a quick reference to the key safety classifications and technical properties of commercially-available flammable refrigerants. Additionally, it provides important safety guidance for the installation and servicing of room air-conditioners with a cooling capacity up to 14 kilowatts, 48,000 BTU/hour or about 4 Refrigeration Tonnes (RT) and designed to use flammable refrigerants.
The instruction described in this guide book are not to be applied for the management of ammonia and carbon dioxide refrigerants and related systems.
