Future-proof and climate-friendly refrigeration dryers must meet the requirements of the new F-Gas regulation.

FOR SUSTAINABLE SECURITY OF SUPPLY

Future-proof and climate-friendly refrigeration dryers must meet the requirements of the new F-Gas Regulation. The implementation of the F-Gas Regulation EU 517/2014 poses significant challenges for manufacturers, service and operators. Operators in particular should be aware of these and take them into account in order to be able to plan investments in good time and make sustainable decisions. The aim of the regulation is to minimize emissions of partially fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases) in order to counteract global warming.

What is the connection between F-gases and refrigeration dryers?

Future-proof and climate-friendly refrigeration dryers must comply with the new F-Gas regulation. The devices are refrigeration systems that require a refrigerant for operation. The refrigerants currently on the market are partially fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-gases). If these are released into the environment, they contribute significantly to global warming. For this reason, refrigerants that are particularly harmful to the climate should be forced out of the market and more climate-friendly refrigerants should be favored in order to reduce emissions. By switching to the climate-friendly refrigerant R-513A for all current and future models, KAESER Kompressoren SE offers security of supply for the future. You too can actively help to reduce greenhouse gases.
