ISSUES

R‑22 ban, the deadline is over !

Since 1st January 2010, the use of virgin R‑22 is prohibited for the maintenance and servicing of refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment. Only recycled or reclaimed R‑22 is allowed until the end of 2014.
Today it is estimated that some 100,000 tonnes of R‑22 are currently in use in Europe. We already know that the amount of R‑22 recovered annually will fall well short of meeting the maintenance needs. In some countries this situation might even become critical.
The need to replace this refrigerant is therefore more urgent than ever.

CLIMALIFE SOLUTIONS

In order to top up leaks on R‑22 systems in 2010 and ensure the continuity of your maintenance contracts, Climalife can offer reclaimed R‑22, marketed under the name of R‑22T.

Climalife offers you the possibility to :

• either treat your R‑22 upon request and to place R‑22T at your disposal in the containers of your choice.
• or to store your R‑22T on one of our industrial sites after signing a storage agreement.

Our Services team will be happy to discuss any specific requests you may have for on-site recovery, system recharge, etc.

R‑22T is available in a range of containers sizes.
