Refrigerant Gas & Carbon Price Summary - April 2012

Refrigerant gases consisting of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's), also referred to as Synthetic Greenhouse
Gases, were developed to replace ozone depleting refrigerants. Globally, the environmental focus has now
switched from 'ozone' to 'global warming potential' (GWP) and HFC based refrigerants are categorised as
high global warming gases.

Equivalent Carbon Price for Synthetic Greenhouse Gases - DSEWPC Fact Sheets - April 2012

Under the Australian Government's Clean Energy Future Plan, synthetic greenhouse gases listed under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol - hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons (excluding gases produced from aluminium smelting) and sulfur hexafluoride (including equipment or products which contain these gases) - will have an equivalent carbon price applied through the existing Ozone Protection and Synthetic Greenhouse Gas Management legislation.

Energy Efficiency

This icon applies to products that are energy efficient, balancing high performance with low environmental impact. The use of the Electronically Commutated (EC) motor technology ensures lower energy consumption. Products such as EC Motors are offered as an option on our Kirby WRC air-cooled remote condenser range.

Reduced Sound

This icon applies to features that reduce noise created during equipment operation. Through the use of world-class compressor & fan blade technology we are able to ensure optimised performance and the lowest sound levels.

Natural Refrigerants

This icon applies to features and options that reduce refrigerant charge or utilise refrigerants with zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and minimise GWP (Global Warming Potential). Natural refrigerants are a win-win solution for the climate and the ozone layer. Our offerings within this category include the introduction of natural refrigerants such as CO₂ into our Gas2Go ^TM range as well as Kirby CO₂ Evaporators, Dorin CO₂ Compressors and the Kirby® CO₂ 25kW Heat Pump.

Environment

This icon applies to the development of smart solutions for the commercial refrigeration industry that create minimal environmental impact. Products that carry the unique Hypercore™ Microchannel technology offer the market a light weight and durable coil, and have the benefits of superior heat transfer and thermal performance, while using less refrigerant.
