Use of new flammable refrigerants on refrigeration systems
Abstract
The use of new flammable refrigerants on refrigeration systems and heat pumps represents a new risk, little known by manufacturers, designers, installers and users.
The new EN 378 family regulations extended the possibility of using new design refrigerants such as those classified A2L (moderately flammable), in addition to defining technical requirements relating to design, construction and certification in directive PED 2014/68/EU, machinery 2006/42/EC and ATEX 2014/34/EU.
The recent changes in ATEX regulations such as the new ISO EN 80079-36/37 for mechanical equipment also represent an opportunity in the international context with the IECEX scheme.
ATEX and PED Directives were elaborated according to the new NFL (New Framework Legislation) and explained and specified the obligations for all economic operators (manufacturers, authorised representatives, importers and distributors), still not well-known and not often applied today.
The technical workshop promoted by Globe Group in cooperation with 3P SAFETY, DNV GL and the Patrizia Pugliese Law Firm provides an overview and solutions to be adopted along the whole chain, from design and certification, installation and maintenance of machines and plants.
