Replacing CFCs in thermodynamic systems: an update on regulations.

Remplacement des CFC dans les systèmes thermodynamiques : le point sur les évolutions réglementaires.

Author(s) : LUCAS L.

Summary

Thermal compression systems, ie, refrigerating installations and similar equipment used as heat pumps have recently been confronted with ozone-protection regulations. The Montreal Protocol (1987), revised at London, (1990), Copenhagen (1992) and Vienna (1995), has in some cases been reinforced at the regional (eg, EEC) or national (e.g., Germany or, through taxes, in the US) level. The issue of global warming has joined the old concern of energy savings and has found expression in a host of new regulations. Substitute refrigerants and systems, such as ammonia, hydrocarbons or sorption, should be designed in accordance with regulations, standards and codes, whose natures, philosophical bases and applications vary from one place to another.
