Author(s) : SAKAMOTO M.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Although the phase out of CFCs in new equipment does not come into force until the end of 1995, most manufacturers have already finished their CFC replacement programmes, and are now marketing equipment using either R134a or R22. However, market acceptance of such equipment has generally been low. Manufacturers are also working towards the longer-term aims of replacing HCFCs in space-conditioning equipment. The article gives an update on refrigerant replacement in Japan, considering first the market situation for CFC replacements, and then the development programmes for replacing HCFCs.
