From the technical and practical point of view, Tecnofrío focused on the impact of the new load limits on the sector, and also the impact from a strategic point of view. In particular, the uncertainty about the requirements of the use of low GWP refrigerant gases according to the requirement of the F-Gas Directive that has existed in the sector in recent years was one of the main topics, and in the other hand, the impossibility to extend the use of low GWP but flammable refrigerant gases beyond 150 g per circuit. After the announcement made in May by the IEC, most of the doubts remain clear in the absence of knowing when the new edition of the international standard (IEC) will have its European version EN60335-2-89 (and consequently when it will be of practical application in Europe).
Finally, Vicente Guilabert said that Huayi Compressors - as a world leader in the design and manufacture of hermetic compressors for domestic and light commercial refrigeration - has always closely followed the evolution of the sector's needs and regulations. This meant that in recent years Huayi has anticipated the new edition of the standard by developing compressors capable of working with charges bigger than 150 g for flammable refrigerants.
