Removing barriers to the use of flammable refrigerants
IEA HPT Annex 64
New bans on chemicals and the revision of the so-called F-Gas Regulation pose new challenges for the heat pump and refrigeration industry. In this project, new knowledge regarding the safe future use of flammable refrigerants in heat pump and refrigeration systems up to 50 kW for room temperature control and hot water preparation will be developed and made 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 room temperature control and domestic hot water heating in Austria. Specifically, existing barriers to the use of flammable refrigerants are to be broken down by developing new knowledge regarding the associated risks and technical solutions for safe use and disseminating this knowledge to relevant target groups.
