Supermarket Refrigeration Meets Regulation: Keeping Your Cool During the HCFC Phase-Out

sponsed by Dupont

Register now for this informative live webinar

The majority of the 34,000 supermarkets in the U.S. still rely on hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) R-22 as their primary refrigerant, despite recently revised environmental legislation that requires a 75 percent reduction in R-22 consumption and production by 2010. The time to act is now to avoid increased costs and labor shortages that can occur as this deadline approaches. Learn how to ensure compliance with regulations and avoid penalties, preserve the continuity of your business, and achieve a successful, cost-effective transition from R-22, rather than retrofitting in an emergency.

The process may seem overwhelming, but hundreds of supermarkets have already converted to alternative refrigerant options, and so can you. Do you know what steps you should take?

A technical expert from DuPont Refrigerants will discuss changing environmental regulations and share best practices to prepare for the R-22 shortfall and the transition to non-ozone depleting substances, while ensuring continued store operations.

During this presentation you will:

  • --Increase your awareness of environmental regulations and the accelerated Montreal Protocol HCFC phase-out schedule, as well as penalties for violations
  • --Gain insight into projected R-22 shortfall supply/demand scenarios and what they may mean for your business
  • --Understand the importance of implementing immediate refrigerant reclamation and recycling practices to ensure an adequate supply of R-22 as the phase-out deadline approaches
  • --Learn about the critical components of a refrigerant management plan
  • --Increase your understanding of retrofit refrigerant options that can help facilitate a cost-effective transition from R-22
