R404A PHASE OUT

The European F-gas Regulation has recently been reviewed with the aim of strengthening the core elements of the Regulation (517/2014).

The F-Gas Regulation creates controls on the use and emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) including HFCs, PFCs and SF6. In the commercial refrigeration sector, this includes professional cabinets and retail display cabinets; the F-Gas Regulation affects the use of HFCs as refrigerants and as blowing agents for the insulation foam.

Why Should you make the switch to an environmentally friendly refrigerant?

There will be an 80% cut in HFC supply by 2030. Therefore the price of HFCs will continue to rise. Refrigerant prices rise again – News Article

Not only will R404A soon be illegal it may also not be the most energy efficient refrigerant to use. Changing to a lower GWP refrigerant with better energy efficiency will be beneficial in terms of energy labelling of products.

If you do not make the change you are likely to fall behind your competitors.
