European F-Gas Regulation: Phase-Down HFC and Application Bans Europe preparing for phase-down and ban impact Ref: http://ec.europa.eu/clima/policies/f-gas/legislation/index_en.htm

North America and India Proposals for Amendment to the Montreal Protocol Meeting in Paris ended July 24 without “contact group”, which is needed for next step of Montreal Protocol supported phase-down discussions

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA): What Is SNAP? What Are NOPRs? SNAP stands for Significant New Alternatives Policy Environmental Protection Agency’s program to approve alternative refrigerants to ozone-depleting potential CFCs, HCFCs Approval specific to refrigerant and application or end use Website: http://www.epa.gov/ozone/snap/index.html When EPA approves a refrigerant, a Notice of Public Rulemaking (NOPR) is issued in the Federal Register Public has opportunity to review and comment Final rule gets published in the Federal Register This final rule was published in the Federal Register on July 20

EPA’s Original Proposal to Delist Refrigerants Published August 6, 2014 Emerson response in red Do Not Delist Now in Industrial and Ice: No Alternates Without Glide S. Mkt, Transport — No Comment

EPA & DOE – Compliance Dates Delayed But Complexity Remains EPA Refrig.

EPA’s Final Rule to Change Listing Status of Certain HFCs

End Uses Impacted by Final Rule Retail food refrigeration Stand-alone Remote condensing unit Supermarket systems Refrigerators, freezers and reach-in coolers, open or with door Fully charged with refrigerant at factory and typically only power required for operation to start Remote condensing unit (typically 0.3 – 5.7 tons) One or two compressors, one condenser, one receiver in single unit Normally located outside sales area Supermarket systems Multiplex or centralized, direct or indirect systems Distributed refrigeration system (direct system), secondary loop and cascade refrigeration (indirect system) Generally more than two compressors per system Application temperature — no distinction for supermarket and remote condensing unit systems, only stand-alone Medium temp: above 32 °F product temp Low temp: below 32 °F product temp Ice makers connected to a supermarket system

End Uses Impacted by Final Rule (cont’d) Not impacted by this rule Industrial process refrigeration Blast chillers or freezers (falls under industrial process refrigeration) Ice makers not connected to supermarket systems, self-contained or connected to a dedicated condensing unit Very low temperature equipment, -50 °F or lower Equipment designed to make or process cold food and beverages that are dispensed via a nozzle, including ice cream machines, slushy iced beverage dispensers and soft-drink dispensers Service “…existing systems may continue to be serviced and maintained for the useful life of that equipment using the original refrigerant…”

New vs. Retrofit Systems “Date upon which the refrigeration circuit is complete, the system can function, the system holds a full refrigerant charge, and the system is ready for its intended purpose” Supermarket may undergo an expansion and continue to use existing refrigerant “if there is sufficient cooling capacity within the system to support the expansion” — considered “not changing the intended purpose of the system” Adding additional cases, compressors and refrigerants that were not supported by original system would be “new” Retrofit Use of a refrigerant in an appliance that was designed for and originally operated using a different refrigerant Recognize that expansion devices, filter driers, gaskets and oils may need replacement due to compatibility properties of the different refrigerants

EPA’s Final Rule Phase-out Candidates*, Likely Alternatives* and Dates Phase-out Refrigerant Super-market New Retrofit Remote Cond. Unit Stand-alone MT <2,200 BTU/hr. and not contain flooded evap. MT ≥2,200 BTU/hr. with or without flooded evap. LT LT and MT R-404A/507A Jan. 1, 2017 July 20, 2016 2018 Jan. 1, 2019 Jan. 1, 2020 R-410A OK - R-407A/C/F HFC-134a Likely Alternatives (Emerson Perspective) R-448A/449A Neither SNAP-approved, nor banned OK for LT only R-450A/513A R-290 R-744 R-717 OK (in primary loop of secondary CO2 sys.) *Refer to Tables 4, 5 and 6 of Final Rule for complete details * Abbreviated; see EPA final rule for complete listing.

EPA’s Final Rule and DOE Energy Regulation Timing Phase-out Refrigerant Super-market New Retrofit Remote Cond. Unit Stand-alone MT <2,200 BTU/hr. and not contain flooded evap. MT ≥2,200 BTU/hr. with or without flooded evap. LT LT and MT R-404A/507A Jan. 1, 2017 July 20, 2016 2018 Jan. 1, 2019 Jan. 1, 2020 R-410A OK - R-407A/C/F HFC-134a DOE Energy Reduction Compliance (Walk-in) March 27, 2017 R-404A medium-temperature, stand-alone cases — redesign and retest for efficiency in 2017 and then again for replacement refrigerant in 2019/2020 with no 404A-like options Low-temperature and HFC-134a stand-alone cases have some options, but timing issue remains and additional cooling may be required for compressors which will add components and cost

Some Questions and Answers If a supermarket rack system gets built and shipped on Dec. 31, 2016 and gets installed on Jan. 15, 2017, can it use R-404A? No. The shipment date is not relevant for determining compliance with the rule for a rack system. It is “the date upon which the refrigeration circuit is complete, the system can function, the system holds a full charge, and the system is ready for use for its intended purposes” which is relevant. Would a lineup of closed-door freezer cases connected to a remote condensing unit fall under the remote condensing unit or stand- alone category? Remote condensing unit Can a new ice machine connected to a supermarket use R-404A? Yes, if the refrigeration circuit is complete, the system can function, the system holds a full charge, and the system is ready for use for its intended purposes before Jan. 1, 2017; not if it is on or after Jan. 1, 2017.

Some Questions and Answers (cont’d) How about a new ice machine connected to a remote condensing unit using R-404A after Jan. 1, 2017? It is allowed, since this configuration of ice machine is not covered by this rule. Can existing equipment be serviced with delisted refrigerants? Yes, “…existing systems may continue to be serviced and maintained for the useful life of that equipment using the original refrigerant…” Can reclaimed or recovered R-404A be used for service? Yes, but only for “existing systems” I’m replacing a failed condensing unit. Is that considered a retrofit? No. A retrofit is defined as “the use of a refrigerant in an appliance that was designed for and originally operated using a different refrigerant”.

Refrigerant Options Emerson Plans to Support In Refrigeration Stand-alone Remote Condensing Unit Supermarket Rack Today 404A 134a 407A/F <1,500 GWP A1 Non-flammable 450A, 513A 134a, 448A, 449A, (LT only) <150 GWP Mildly Flammable HDR110* - <10 GWP 290 744 HFO-1234yf* HFO-1234ze* *Likely to support. Timing TBD. Other refrigerants may be added based on completing application development and qualification approvals.

What Should I Consider? Supermarket Systems Move to adopt R-407A/R-407F or even lower GWP alternatives like R-448A and R-449A; expect CO2 use to increase and R-290 and ammonia trials to continue Remote Condensing Units Redesign for alternatives; for walk-ins, redesign to meet efficiency requirements Stand-alone (Self-contained) Systems Request SNAP approval for A1 R-404A like replacements such as R-448A and R-449A Combine meeting DOE efficiency standards and EPA refrigerant changes into one qualification step. It will not be easy! Watch for new alternatives to be SNAP approved; contact Emerson to check status of product approvals Continue to request the DOE and EPA to better coordinate their actions Train and keep up with technology changes Use Emerson and forums like E360 to help you

Other Applications and End Uses On next several pages, the change of status of refrigerants in other end uses like foam, aerosol and MVAC are listed for reference purposes Further details can be obtained in the published final rule
