Information about the used refrigerants
The Regulation (EU) No. 517/2014 on fluorinated
greenhouse gases applies to all systems which contain
fluorinated refrigerants and replaces (EC) 842/2006.
The aim of the Regulation is to protect the environment by reducing
emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases.
Among other things it regulates the emission limits, use and
recovery of these substances. It also contains requirements for
operators of systems which require / contain these substances to
function.
Under Regulation 517/2014, the operator of a system of this nature
has the following duties:
• The operator must ensure that the equipment is checked at
regular intervals for leaks.
• These intervals depend on the CO
2
equivalent of the system. This
is calculated from the refrigerant fill volume and type of
refrigerant. The CO
2
equivalent of your system is shown on the
model plate.
• The operator undertakes to have maintenance, repair, service,
recovery and recycling work carried out by certified personnel
who have been authorized by JULABO.
