Résumé

Several cases of explosions occurring in marine refrigerated containers (reefers) have been reported in various parts of the world in recent months. Besides causing major material damage, these accidents have resulted in the deaths of several operators. The assessments performed following these accidents have established that these explosions were due to the use of counterfeit refrigerants containing R40 (methyl chloride, also known as chloromethane, CH3Cl) mixed with R134a, the refrigerant initially used in these units. The goals of this Note are to raise the awareness of operators concerning this new risk, to propose a detection method designed to detect systems containing counterfeit refrigerants that thus constitute a risk, and to examine ways of decontaminating contaminated systems. The aim is also to attract the attention of public authorities and decision-makers regarding the impact of counterfeit refrigerants on the refrigeration sector, with respect to safety and also in economic terms.
