Climalife is proud to announce that we have made the decision to join the battle against illegal trade of HFCs.
Tuesday 17 November from 9.30 to 10.30 am (CEST) / 8.30 to 9.30 am (UK): Climalife, in collaboration with Honeywell and ExxonMobil, will present an eco-efficiency approach for refrigeration at a webinar in English, aimed at engineering companies, installers and refrigeration system owners.
Location: Lurdy House, 1st floor conference and exhibition space (Budapest, 9th district Könyves Kálmán körút 12-14.)Organizer: Hungarian Association of Building Engineers (MÉGSZ)From 11:30 onwards, our colleague László Juhász will give a presentation at the Air Conditioning, Ventilation and Heat Pump Conference entitled "2020 is the Year of Change - How the F-Gas Regulation will change the near future of our profession".Climalife will also be present as an exhibitor. You are welcome to visit our booth for more information about our products and services.Click here to read more about the conference (Hungarian)See you at Lurdy House!
Retrofit your system ! On 1st January 2015, European Regulation No. 517/2014, known as F-Gas, introduced a new mechanism for gradually reducing the use of HFCs through to 2030 to ensure the reduction of emissions of fluorinated greenhouse gases. The progressive reduction of HFCs is achieved through several methods: - The implementation of quotas. Quota is the overall quantity of HFC refrigerants that producers and importers can place on the market, expressed in CO2 equivalent Tonnes. At the end of 2014, the European Commission introduced an annual placing on the market quota that reduces in steps every 3 years through to 2030 with the biggest reductions in 2018 and 2021. - The introduction of sales bans for new equipment containing certain HFCs depending on their GWP. - The prohibition of the use of HFCs for the maintenance or servicing of existing refrigeration equipment depending on their GWP.
With average temperatures across the world increasing, the challenge for the HVACR sector is how to achieve system sustainability, while minimising the carbon footprint and optimising the energy efficiency of thermodynamic installations. F-Gas legislation, pressures to save money and most importantly, world-wide efforts to halt climate change are forcing businesses to review their approaches towards energy efficiency. A refrigeration system running at optimal performance will use less product, it will not leak and it will use less energy thereby having a lower carbon footprint. As a result, it will also cost less to operate as it has been well maintained and is utilising quality products.
The next edition of ISK-SODEX, the international Exhibition for HVAC&R, Pumps, Valves, Fittings, Fire Prevention, Water Treatment and Insulation will be held in Istanbul at Tüyap Fair Convention and Congress Center, on October 2-5, 2019.
