Refrigerant Best Practice Guide
Sep 2021
The guide reviews currently available refrigerants for common system types, with advice on how to reduce refrigerant charge, leakage, and enhance recovery at end of life. It should be considered ‘live’ and will be updated periodically to reflect the latest industry data.
This best practice guide is intended to help those responsible for the design, installation, commissioning, operation, and maintenance of building services to make well-informed decisions in the design of refrigerant-based systems. We particularly encourage its use during initial design stages, whenever these systems are being considered.
