European legislation

The European Regulation n. 517/2014 imposes a drastic reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, with a reduction target of 79% by 2030.

To achieve this ambitious goal, various methods of intervention have been identified: Placing F-Gases on the market.

The European Regulation imposes a progressive reduction of F-Gas (HFC), expressed in Tons of CO2 equivalent, released into the territory of the European Union.

From 1.1.2020, the use in maintenance of gases with GWP > 2,500 will be prohibited, in systems with a charge > 40 tons CO2 equivalent (about 10.2 kg of HFC R-404A), with the following exceptions:

• Installations for military use;
• Refrigeration systems for products at temperatures below -50°C (BBT);
• Use of gas recovered from the plants and correctly regenerated (the ban on the use of regenerated gas will also take effect from 1.1.2030).

R507 is an azeotropic hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) blend, composed of R125 + R143a, which can find various applications in commercial, industrial refrigeration and refrigerated transport. R507 is a non-flammable refrigerant classified A1. R507 finds application in the operation of cold rooms, refrigerated counters, refrigerated display cases, ice cream and ice cream machines, refrigerated transport and flooded systems. From an ecological point of view, R507 is a gas with a high GWP of 3985 and an ODP of 0.
