Summary

The author describes the need for management of existing refrigerant stocks, in particular the quantity in existing refrigeration plant.

Plant owners are recommended to have all the refrigerant that is removed from their systems, other than for simple servicing procedures, reclaimed and banked for use after the cessation of new CFC manufacture. The article lists pertinent regulations existing in the USA. D.W.H.
