With the move towards a phase-down of HFCs, manufacturers’ groups have warned against the use of unapproved refrigerants in equipment not designed for their use.
The warnings are contained in an open letter signed by nine associations representing 90% of global manufacturers of air conditioning and refrigeration. They include ABRAVA (Brazil), AHRI (USA), AREMA (Australia), CRAA (China), EPEE (Europe), Eurovent (Europe), HRAI (Canada), JRAIA (Japan) and KRAIA (Korea).
