R22 replacement has become urgent since r22 virgin refrigerant was banned in January 2010.

Under EU legislation, a total ban on the use of all r22 will come into force in 2015. In the mean time, only recycled r22 can be used in existing r22 refrigerant air conditioning systems.
As a result, demand for recycled r22 is expected to increase.

The problem is that the industry only reclaims 10 to 15% of the amount of r22 required to maintain current systems. So while supplies are scarce, rising demand may boost the price of reprocessed r22 gas, causing the cost of maintaining existing equipment to soar.

Current users of r-22 systems face:

• Rising expense of reclaimed r-22 for system maintenance.

• Risk of a long down-time when no r-22 is available.

• Investing in completely new systems in place of fully functional existing equipment.

• Cost and disruption to the working environment.

• Retrofitting with a drop in refrigerant, may compromise system performance and reliability.
