Cooling systems powered by F-gases offer low investment costs, easy installation and suitable options for small facilities. Because they are economical and their components are widely available, these systems are ideal for small-scale commercial facilities.
Widely Application: Small and medium-sized production and storage facilities and places using commercial type refrigeration
Advantages
- Widely Availability: F-Gases are widely used and readily available in the market.
- Reliable Performance: Proven technology with consistent and predictable performance in a variety of cooling applications
- Low Initial Cost: Generally lower initial costs compared to natural refrigerants such as NH₃ or CO₂.
- User-Friendly: Easier to install and maintain with less stringent security requirements.
Disadvantage
- Environmental Impact: High global warming potential (GWP) and contribution to greenhouse gas emissions. Subject to phase-down regulations under the EU F-Gas Directive.
- Future Restrictions: Increased regulations and restrictions on the use of high GWP F-Gases may lead to higher operating costs and the need for retooling or replacement.
- Energy Efficiency: Generally less energy efficient than natural refrigerants such as NH₃ and CO₂
