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.

 Supermarkets

The need for energy efficient equipment that reliably maintains the correct temperature has never been greater.

From evaporators to condensers or compressor racks to custom equipment, Heatcraft has the smart supermarket solutions that you need. Our product development is customer-driven, so our “next generation” Kirby products are equipped with state of the art energy-saving technology.

Either on their own, or combined as an integrated solution, Kirby Commercial Equipment delivers higher efficiency, a lower carbon output and reduced utility bills.
 
We’ve incorporated variable speed technology in our motors and fans, which significantly reduce energy consumption. We’ve developed new condensers and compressors that reduce power usage. Our Kirby WRC ES and EC condensers are amongst the most efficient in the world, delivering savings of up to 75% of condenser power usage.
 
As a result of renewed interest in the use of carbon dioxide as a refrigerant (due its low GWP rating of 1), we now have a range of evaporators and condensers that run on CO2 . This allows the system to operate in transcritical conditions, increasing the operating pressure and temperature and significantly reducing the size of the compressor and piping.
