[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Due to F-Gas regulation, HFC refrigerants are increasing their cost and are becoming – day by day – more difficult to find on the market.<\/p>\n

For example, in the last 7 months we have seen a 225% price increase for R404a (now around 58 Euro \/ Kg). The market expects the same level of price increase for all the refrigerants in phase-out like R507, R410A, R407F[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”Phase Out HFC refrigerants” font_container=”tag:div|font_size:1.8em|text_align:left|color:%2300497c|line_height:100%25″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1512466390435{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_row_inner equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1512466288639{padding-top: 15px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1586″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

2020<\/strong>: operational limitation of stationary refrigeration equipment (see F-GAS regulation).<\/li>\n
2022<\/strong>: operational limitation of commercial refrigerators and multipack centralised \u0003refrigeration systems (seee F-GAS regulation).<\/li>\n
2025<\/strong>: operational limitation of single split A\/C systems (see F-GAS regulation).<\/li>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]ThermoKey is one of the few companies in the world able to produce in its plants both traditional Tube&Fin Remote condensers and Microchannel Remote Condensers<\/strong>, and for this reason, it is able to compare these solutions in terms of performances, weight and internal volume (refrigerant charge).[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”500 kW remote condenser comparison” font_container=”tag:div|font_size:1.8em|text_align:left|color:%2300497c|line_height:100%25″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1512470144106{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2413″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1519662962994{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]The net price of a 500kW remote condenser with a microchannel core (TKMicro inside) is 23% lower than the equivalent model in tube & fin technology but the cost of the R404a refrigerant now is higher than the traditional condenser!<\/strong><\/p>\n
Another comparison, a smaller Ammonia (R717) 150kW remote condenser.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”150 kW remote condenser comparison” font_container=”tag:div|font_size:1.8em|text_align:left|color:%2300497c|line_height:100%25″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1512470173371{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2414″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1519662984700{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]The cost of the refrigerant here is very low because Ammonia is a green refrigerant zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and zero GWP (Global Warming Potential).<\/strong><\/p>\n
Copper tubes are not compatible with ammonia and stainless steel tubes are much more expensive than the Aluminium ones.<\/strong><\/p>\n
A typical V-Type 14 fan tube & fin condenser charged with R404a can cost more than 40K€. A good alternative is a Stainless Steel unit charged with Ammonia. This solution is 22% more convenient than the R404a one.<\/p>\n
The Microchannel remote condenser solution, thanks to its internal volume and its price, using R404a, is 46% more convenient than the traditional solution.<\/p>\n
Taking into consideration a Microchannel Remote condenser charged with Ammonia refrigerant, it is even more convenient: 58% of the investment.<\/u> These savings are calculated without considering taxation like IGFEI and regulation procedures deriving from UNI EN 378 2017.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=”1000 kW remote condenser comparison” font_container=”tag:div|font_size:1.8em|text_align:left|color:%2300497c|line_height:100%25″ use_theme_fonts=”yes” css=”.vc_custom_1512470223633{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”2415″ img_size=”full” onclick=”link_image” css=”.vc_custom_1519663000698{padding-bottom: 20px !important;}”][vc_column_text]Aluminium Microchannel technology is an eco-friendly, light and beautiful solution that helps you control costs and make an eco-friendly choice.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column css=”.vc_custom_1512472925490{padding-top: 30px !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1533659015665{border-top-width: 1px !important;border-right-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-left-width: 1px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;border-left-color: #e6e6e6 !important;border-left-style: solid !important;border-right-color: #e6e6e6 !important;border-right-style: solid !important;border-top-color: #e6e6e6 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #e6e6e6 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”]
