Effects of the EU F-gas Regulation on Compressed Air Refrigeration Dryers
The new F-gas regulation EU 517/2014 is intended to effect the minimisation of fluorinated greenhouse gas emissions and to contribute to limiting climate change. This legislation is binding in Europe. The regulation prohibits the marketing of specific
greenhouse gases and refrigeration machinery and uses a quota system to ensure a significantly reduced offering of standard refrigerants. In the case of refrigeration specialists and operators, it also specifies extended rules for the handling of fluorinated greenhouse gases.
All refrigeration dryers imported, manufactured, operated, maintained, repaired and disposed in the EU are affected if they require fluorinated greenhouse gases for their operation.
This white paper classifies refrigeration dryers for compressed air and inert gases as stationary refrigeration systems in the meaning of the regulation. It evaluates refrigeration dryers as refrigeration systems designed for trade and industrial use.
