Part 2 Existing R-22 Management
22
Effective July 1, 1992, it is unlawful to knowingly vent, release or dispose of CFCs and HCFCs during the repair, service, maintenance or disposal of appliances or industrial process refrigeration equipment. EPAs Definition of Venting
23
Stop Venting Price of R-22 Must Increase Programs must be in place to make it easy to return refrigerants and benefit those who do Increase Industry Compliance
24
These Wholesalers are making it easy to return recovered R-22 Whos Making It Easy?
25
Existing R-22 Management Rule #1: Rule #1: Rule #2: Get involved with R-22 return programs that benefit your company Rule #2: Get involved with R-22 return programs that benefit your company Rule #3: Dont mix any other refrigerants with your recovered R-22! Rule #3: Dont mix any other refrigerants with your recovered R-22! Dont VENT!

Will good R-22 recovery/reclaim programs be enough to fill the service needs? Will good R-22 recovery/reclaim programs be enough to fill the service needs? Will there be a shortage of R-22? Will there be a shortage of R-22? Will the price of R-22 increase radically? Will the price of R-22 increase radically? To Summarize Our Concerns:

Choosing An R-22 Alternative Refrigerant
31
What Do We Want From Our R-22 Alternative Refrigerant? No Major Hardware Changes To Equipment Use The Same Oil Type Fast, Simple Conversion Sufficient Capacity At Least the Same Energy Efficiency Reliability Same Toxicity Flammability Classification as R-22 Zero Ozone Depleting Potential Reasonable Cost
32
What You Should Do? Make a choice. Learn all you can about your R-22 alternative choice. Use that alternative choice as many times as you can so that retrofits will become familiar and easy.
