Emission reduction of non-CO2 greenhouse gases used as refrigerant

Non-0O2 Greenhouse gases, in particular CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs, are the main refrigerants used in refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump equipment. This kind of equipment traditionally leaks significantly (10 to 40 % of the content on a yearly base) during operational life. At end of life, the refrigerant content traditionally emits...

Flammable refrigerants

Hydrocarbons are promising alternatives for CFC, HCFC and HFC refrigerants. Due to their flammable nature, safety aspects have to be considered carefully. The world-wide situation concerning acceptability and practical application of flammable refrigerants is becoming more and more complex and confusing. Quantification of the risks of using...

Dutch regulations for reduction of refrigerant emissions: Experiences with a unique approach over the period 1993-1998

In the Netherlands, a unique approach concerning the ozone depleting and global warming issues, with respect to refrigerants, operates since 1992. National mandatory regulations focus on leakage and emission reduction, instead of bans on production or specific applications.

Introduction of FLO-ICE and Binary Ice technology as energy efficient and environmentally benign working fluids in the field of refrigeration and air conditioning

Bronaanpak veiligheid: Bedrijfsinrichting en onderhoud

Tekortkomingen in de inrichting van bedrijven in de metaalproduktenindustrie en gebrekkig onderhoud van de machines blijken in veel gevallen te leiden tot onveilige situaties. Analyses laten zien dat in Nederland veel ongevallen direct of indirect gerelateerd zijn aan de bedrijfs- en werkplekinrichting. Verder blijkt dat bij transport- en...

New approaches on maintenance in safety critical applications: Report about the TNO / MARINTEK project on cost effective maintenance methodology

The Norwegian and Dutch research and development institutes MARINTEK and TNO have identified parallel activities in the field of maintenance technology. They have both identified a wide gap between the available methods, specifically in the field of Reliability Centred Maintenance, and daily maintenance practices in many companies. In this paper...
