Initiatives en Amérique du Nord pour utiliser les frigorigènes de façon responsable.

Initiatives in North America to use refrigerants responsibly.

Auteurs : MENZER M.

Résumé

Manufacturers of heating, air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment are actively pursuing several initiatives to ensure that refrigerants are being used in a responsible manner, including containment, reclamation, and destruction of used refrigerant. Manufacturers are auditing their factories to minimize leaks. The industry is working with the US federal government to empower the US Environmental Protection Administration to enforce no-venting laws. The HVAC community is helping to revise an ASHRAE standard to prevent refrigerant leaks. The industry is also developing plans for a non-profit corporation that will provide financial incentives for returning used refrigerant for reclamation or destruction. ARI, the industry trade association, is working with technical schools to advocate training curricula that promote responsible refrigerant use. Taken together, these initiatives can help curtail refrigerant emissions from heating, ventilating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment.
