12 Why can save energy? Weight Latent Heat Size of Particle 90% 40% 184% 50% The loading of Compressor had been reduced significantly The cooling power had been greatly increased Pressure loss had been reduced More surface area for evaporation Non-Eco CFC (R12, R22) Eco HFC (R134a, 407c, 410a) Synergy HC 12

25 Any potential damage? Compatible with A/C? 25

26 Harmless to A/C Copper Pipe Compressor High Purity/Low water content No corrosion to copper Lower Pressure Reduce compressor work load prolong its lifetime Minimize leakage Had launched to market over 5 years Had installed over 10,000+ a/c system

27 Compatibility Lubricant System Material Guidelines for the use of Hydrocarbon Refrigerants in Static Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Systems from ACRIB (Air Conditioning & Refrigeration Industrial Board) 2001 Compatible with Mineral & POE Compatible with system materials such as O ring, valve seats, seals and gaskets 27

28 Precaution in Using Natural Low GWP Refrigerant

30 Precaution in Using Natural Low GWP Refrigerant Carbon Dioxide Ammonia Hydrocarbon Features Non Flammable Non toxic High operating pressure ODP = 0 GWP = 0 Small molecular mass Large latent heat Large vapour density Excellent heat transfer characteristics ODP = 0 Negligible GWP Compatible with copper Miscible with mineral oil Precaution Operating pressure: 80 bars Low efficiency Toxic Flammable Not compatible with copper Temperature on discharge side of compressor is higher Flammable

31 International Guideline in using Hydrocarbon EN 378 Refrigerating systems and heat pumps Safety and environmental requirements Certified Person Flammable Sign HC Accumulation Certified personnel to conduct installation Flammable point R ºC R134a 740 ºC R407c 704 ºC HC 465 ºC Oil 222 ºC Different access pattern got different charge rate control Ventilation BS EN 378-3:2008 Refrigerating systems and heat pumps. Safety and environmental requirements. Installation site and personal protection HC Flammable Window 2.1~ 9.5 % LFL Kg / m3 Practical Limit Kg/m3 State flammable sign on A/C 31

32 International Guideline in using Hydrocarbon EN 378 Refrigerating systems and heat pumps Safety and environmental requirements Roof Top Open area - No limit on charge rate Chiller Room Special Room - No limit on charge rate Ventilation will be required Office Split Type Indoor - got limit on charge rate based on different area e.g 600 sq feet - limit to 5HP / circuit Underground Underground got limit on charge rate Max 1kg (~5HP / circuit)

33 International Guideline

34 International Guideline in all types of refrigerants EN 378 Refrigerating systems and heat pumps Safety and environmental requirements Type of Refrigerant CFC HFC HC Name of Refrigerant R22 R134a/407c/410a Synergy Ventilation N : 4 air change/hr E : 15 air change/hr N : 4 air change/hr E : 15 air change/hr N : 4 air change/hr E : 15 air change/hr Flame Proof in E Fan Alarm Detector Competent Person Charge rate Different access control different charge rate

35 Comparison in MSDS amongst all types of refrigerants Type of Refrigerant CFC HFC HC Name of Refrigerant Ignition Temp 632 / 743 ºC Ventilation of workplace Stability R22 R134a/407c/410a Synergy Well-ventilated Any source of high temp, such as lighted cigarette, flames, hot spots or welding may yield toxic and/or corrosive decomposition products 468 ºC ** Flammable window 2.1 ~ 9.5% Well-ventilated Stable ** Refrigerant will mix with compressor oil when leaks, ignition temp of compressor oil at 220 ºC. Thus all CFC, HFC & HC ignition point will be lowered to 220 ºC.
