Cooling liquids
F-gases has been mainly used as refrigerants in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. They are also used for cooling in centrifuges, ULT freezers, and shakers (all refrigerated units). There is a growing number of regulations which limit the usage of these specific refrigerants due to their negative impact on global warming.
EU F-Gas Regulation 2024/573
The European F-Gas Regulation (EU) 2014/517 and its intensification from 2024 ((EU) 2024/573) have the goal to drastically reduce the usage of hydrofluorocarbons (HFC) as refrigerants. These HFC have a negative impact on global warming many times greater than CO2.
Exception
In October 2024, the EU Commission announced an exception from the F-Gas regulation for refrigerated laboratory centrifuges ((EU) 2024/2729). By way of derogation from Regulation (EU) 2024/573, there is a time limited release for this equipment with a GWP > 150. This special release frame is authorized from January 1st 2025 to December 31st 2028 within the EU.
