In the first installment in this series, we talk with Don Gillis who is a technical trainer with Chemours. Gillis travels the country providing top-notch training on the refrigerant transition. We ask Gillis how contractors can safely recover and recycle A2L refrigerants.
The reclamation of HFC refrigerants is now essential so that existing HVAC systems, and systems that can be sold through 2025, can be serviced for the next couple of decades.
We asked four HVACR distribution executives for their thoughts on a variety of topics impacting a rapidly changing industry. Here’s what they had to say.
If TXV hunting is observed when troubleshooting a refrigeration system, its cause should be identified and repaired to allow for better system performance.
At an educational session at the AHR Expo, industry experts discussed the latest status of the AIM Act and also provided insights into which states have updated their building codes to allow the use of A2Ls.
In comments to EPA’s proposed rule regarding HFC management, many HVACR stakeholders expressed concern over issues including tracking cylinders, training technicians, and reclaiming refrigerant.
A lot of refrigerant reclaimers aren’t charging for mixed refrigerants anymore, which may in turn, mean an opportunity for HVAC contractors to make more money.
