Welcome to year zero. The waiting is over and the F-Gas regulation has passed into law and life as we know it changes forever. Over-dramatic? Well, it will be a dramatic shift for everyone in the industry who thus far have somehow managed to avoid all the noise from the supermarkets about the need to move away from HFCs.
These regs were specifically designed to see off the traditional portfolio that a generation of engineers has grown up with. Anyone hoping for a quiet life after losing R-22 is in for a bit of a shock.
