Removing barriers to the use of flammable refrigerants

IEA HPT Annex 64

New chemical bans and the revision of the so-called F-gas Regulation pose new challenges for the heat pump and refrigeration industry. This project aims to develop new knowledge regarding the safe future use of flammable refrigerants in heat pumps and refrigeration systems up to 50 kW for space heating and hot water production and to make this knowledge available to the relevant target groups.

The overall aim of the IEA HPT Annex 64 project is to contribute to the widespread and safe use of flammable refrigerants in heat pump and refrigeration systems up to 50 kW for space heating and hot water production in Austria. Specifically, existing barriers to the use of flammable refrigerants are to be removed by developing new knowledge regarding the associated risks and technical solutions for safe use and disseminating this knowledge to the relevant target groups.
