All owners and operators of R22 and other HCFC refrigeration systems will have to consider the R22 phase-out and act upon it now. The regulation is aimed at limiting ozone layer depletion and global warming.

Phase out of R22 in HCFC refrigerant systems
From 1 January 2010 the use of virgin HCFC including R22 and R123 will be prohibited in the maintenance and servicing of refrigeration and air-conditioning systems in Europe .

From 2010 to 2015 only reclaimed R22 and R123 can be used for service. Shortage is foreseen because the amount of reclaimed HCFCs only covers about 10% of current usage. All HCFC top up will be prohibited from 1 January 2015 in Europe.

In addition the F-gas regulation has come into force in Europe, putting new requirements on systems using F-gases including refrigerants like R134a, R404A, R507A, R407C, R410A, R417A, and R422D
R22 refrigerant phase out

Typical questions raised by the end users:

  • For how long can I use my R22 system?
  • Will I be required to make any changes?
  • Which refrigerants are available for retrofit?
  • What is the impact on capacity & power consumption in case of retrofit?
  • Should I consider the change to a new system with natural refrigerants?
Owners of R22 systems are strongly recommended to act now in order to avoid unplanned stop and down-time.
