HCFCs currently make up over 55% of the total refrigerant air-conditioning market by volume in the UK. (R22 accounts for most of this figure) .

What can you do when 55% of the market is being phased out? There are three options:

1- Do nothing and rely on recycled R22. A high-risk strategy. Will recycled material be available when you need it, and at what cost? You’re only delaying the inevitable.

2- Replace equipment and move to natural refrigerants such as ammonia, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons. The expensive option.

3- Retrofit with HFC refrigerants. To date there are over 12 refrigerants on the market (excluding the natural options) to replace HCFCs. Gone are the days where one refrigerant fits all applications.

BOC is the only supplier of all the HFC replacement products, and provide expert impartial advise on the best alternative for your application.
