Production conversion of domestic refrigerators from halogenated to hydrocarbon refrigerants: a guideline.

Type of monograph: Book, Guide/Handbook

Summary

This guideline, published by GIZ on behalf of the Federal Ministry for the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMU), aims to provide a general idea of the different steps when planning a conversion from an existing production system of domestic refrigerators to one that uses hydrocarbons, such as isobutane (R600a) or propane (R290), and the important aspects that small- to medium-size manufacturers need to consider. The holistic approach of this guideline makes it a good starting point of information.
Extract from the table of contents: hydrocarbon as an alternative refrigerant; consideration for conversion (marketing hydrocarbon appliances; consideration for manufacturers; barriers to converting); consideration for conversion (foam production; production line; changes in the product components; training and after-sales servicing); case study.
