swap out or consider a more costly option
of investing in totally new plant.
New equipment using HCFC refrigerants
like R22 were banned from 2001 (or 2004
for small air-conditioning systems) and
since 1st January 2010 the use of virgin
HCFCs to service and maintain existing
refrigeration and air-conditioning (RAC)
