November 1, 2020 WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TRANSITIONING YOUR REFRIGERANT ACCA WEBINAR
WHY REFRIGERANT TRANSITIONS HAPPEN GWP: Global warming potential is a measure of how much heat a greenhouse gas traps in the atmosphere up to a specific time horizon, relative to carbon dioxide. ODP: The ozone depletion potential (ODP) of a chemical compound is the relative amount of degradation to the ozone layer it can cause, with trichlorofluoromethane (R-11 or CFC-11) being fixed at an ODP of 1. 0 ACCA webinar Honeywell Confidential - © 2019 by Honeywell International Inc.

REGULATION UPDATE SB 1383 reduction goal: 40% below 2013 levels by 2030 • Regulations such as Kigali Amendment (global) and F-Gas (Europe) are driving replacement of higher GWP refrigerants • Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed ban on higher GWP refrigerants in chillers in 2024 • California has proposed GWP limitation of 750 for chillers and residential HVAC • Climate Coalition of 15+ states is committed to address the issue of high GWP refrigerants • California, Washington and Vermont have passed certain HFC regulations Business as usual scenario: HFC Emission Sources in California (2030) Regulations will drive transition to Lower GWP Refrigerants ACCA webinar Honeywell Confidential - © 2019 by Honeywell International Inc.

QUESTIONS WE HAVE HEARD 1. Will the same tools and service procedures be used to service/start up R-466 A airconditioning systems? 2. R-466 A has glide, is this a concern? 3. Will current leak detectors work with R-466 A? 4. Can R-410 A systems be retrofitted to R-466 A? 5. Will line sizing of R-466 A be the same as R-410 A? 6. Is R-466 A flammable?
