Refrigerant

 What’s a CFC?

ChloroFluroCarbon

This refrigerant was used in the 90s which has been phased out due to harmful effects on the environment.

 What’s a HCFC?

HyrdroChloroFluroCarbon

These refrigerants contain less chlorine than CFCs which mean they have less ozone depleting potential (ODP).  These are now phased out

What is HFC?

These are refrigerants that contain no chlorine and aren’t harmful to the ozone layer.  They still aren’t perfect but needless to say Varcoe only uses HFC refrigerants from an HFC permit entitled supplier,  Chemiplus.

 

The law change came into play 31st December 2019, whereby only HFC refrigerant can be used.  At Varcoe we are ahead of the game here and are looking forward to the next generation of products that will be even more environmentally friendly.  In the meantime we of course only use HFC refrigerant.
