Author(s) : COLBOURNE D.

Type of article: Informatory note

Summary

With the phase-out of ozone depleting and phase-down of global warming substances, there has been growing interest in the application of flammable refrigerants. Following the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol concerning the phase-down of hydrofluorocarbons, flammable refrigerants have become more widely used and will likely comprise the majority of refrigerants in the medium to long term. Until recently, flammability hazards arising from the use and application of these alternative refrigerants have hitherto been limited to domestic and commercial refrigeration sectors. Thus, it is essential that stakeholders across all other sectors understand and become familiar with the relevant considerations for handling flammability hazards that affect their application. These include flammability characteristics, classifications, governing rules such as safety standards and regulations covering the entire lifetime of systems and equipment including transportation, system design and construction and service, maintenance and other refrigerant handling activities. This Informatory Note aims to provide an introduction to these matters.
