Refrigerant Management

MAXIMIZING COMPLIANCE AND EFFICIENCY

Achieve your sustainability goals

Reducing building and system impact on the environment and human health has become everyone's responsibility. We will help you achieve your sustainablity goals and retrofit your system with low to ultra-low GWP refrigerants without compromising efficiency and reliability.

Extend your equipment lifetime

Transitioning to optimal refrigerant charge reduces stress on components and will improve your system reliability and efficiency.

Comply with regulations

Compliance with EU F-Gas regulation and other national regulations is a main concern. Regulations regarding emissions, proper refrigerant handling and leak reporting can be confusing. It is all too easy to make costly mistakes. Trane certified service experts will help you select the right refrigerant for your application, while complying with all legislations.

With the global phase-down on HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons) and quota system imposed by EU F-Gas regulation, pressure is increasing on price and availability of high GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants. This makes it even more vital that the industry and operators make a timely transition to refrigerants with a lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) and have a long-term plan about the type of refrigerant used in units.
