Résumé

Approximately 52,060 chillers, 65 percent of the estimated 80,000 CFC chillers in service in the early 1990s, required CFCs to remain in service at the start of 1999 in the USA. Non-CFC chillers can be 40% more efficient than the CFC units installed 20 years ago, resulting in operating savings that can pay back the cost of replacement in a few years. Congress is being asked to consider accelerated depreciation for CFC chillers so that unused depreciation could be apportioned over a four-year period, providing building owners with more incentive to replace their CFC units. Millions of pounds of illegally imported CFCs have been seized by US agencies which launched a crackdown that resulted in dozens of prosecutions.
