R507 Refrigerant Gas Reclaimed at the GeneralGas site of Cernusco sul Naviglio, authorized by the Ministry of the Environment with official Program Agreement.
Reclamation carried out in accordance with the European Regulation F-Gas No 517/2014, quality of reclaimed R507 meets AHRI700-2017 standard (characteristics equivalent to those of the virgin product).
The reclaimed gas supplied by GeneralGas is labeled under RE 517/2014 with the indication that the substance has been properly reclaimed, indications on the batch number and the name and address of the regeneration site.
TECHNICAL NOTE:
As of 01/01/2020, the systems operated with gas type R404A/R507/R422D (i.e. with a value of GWP > 2.500), having a refrigerant charge of more than 40 Ton CO2 (equivalent, for example, to 10,2 kg of R404A), it will no longer be possible to use virgin gas in service or maintenance, as required by the current F-Gas regulation (EU Regulation 517/2014 art 13 paragraph 3).
The above legislation expressly prohibits the use of virgin gases, so any stock of such refrigerants (purchased before that date) will no longer be able to be used. In the absence of preventive retrofits (extraordinary maintenance) that provide for the replacement of the above refrigerants with more environmentally friendly refrigerants (e.g. HFO-based refrigerant mixtures, such as R448A-R449A-R452A etc. defined Low GWP, and in any case with GWP > 2 500), the use of reclaimed refrigerants is still possible in service or maintenance.
The use of regenerated refrigerant gas is permitted for a wide period, i.e. until 2030, as per the provisions contained in Regulation (EU) n ro 517/2014 art 13 paragraph 3 letters a) and b)
The reclaimed refrigerant has the same chemical composition and performance as virgin gas, perfectly corresponding to american AHRI700-2017 standards, universally recognized as a qualitative reference; reclaimed gas is obtained from industrial chemical processes, which use as a raw material waste made from refrigerant gases; its production is the prerogative of plants that are authorized by the Ministry of the Environment to treat waste.
Low and medium temperature commercial refrigeration
Kryon® 507 is a refrigerant gas composed of HFC-125 and HFC-143a. It has been developed
by Honeywell as a long-term replacement product for R-502.
Kryon® 507 is a non polluting azeotropic mixture. It does not damage the ozone layer. It is an
excellent product for the use in low and medium temperature.
Applications:
Kryon® 507 is used for a wide range of applications in low and medium temperature commercial refrigeration, including supermarket counter fridge, refrigerated transport, stand and ice maker machine.
Performance:
- Kryon® 507 is suitable for both new plants and for converting existing systems designed to use R-502.
- Changes in the project to optimize the performance are minimal.
Recommended Lubricants:
Kryon® 507 needs the use of mixable lubricants such as Polyol Esters (POE). Most of the producers recommend specific POE lubricants. Therefore, the user should check which lubricant is recommended by the producer.
KryoBox® Cylinders
KryoBox® cylinders are helpful every time a limited quantity of refrigerant charge is needed.
These cylinders are light and easy to handle compared to the traditional ones, therefore their transportation is much easier. KryoBox® cylinders are available in two formats, 6,4 liters and 13,6 liters; they are manufactured in full compliance with T-PED (Transportable Pressure Equipment Directive) and are packed in high-strength cardboard boxes in order to make their transport and storage on the shelf much easier.
KryoBox® cylinders R134a (AUTO) are provided with a special quick coupling automatic valve that prevents leaks that usually occur with plug valves; standard valve 1/4” with handwheel and safety device is also available for all refrigeration and residential air conditioning applications. In addition, KryoBox® R410A cylinders are supplied with an adapter with outlet 5/16" SAE.
We have always been sensitive to environmental issues; with the “F-Gas-Friend”, General Gas has implemented the F-Gas Directive by buying back the refillable KryoBox® Cylinders, cylinders, so that they are not wasted in the environment and can be regenerated and filled again.
Performance
KryoBox® cylinders are light but they are also sturdy thanks to the protection of high-strength cardboard. Cardboard boxes are provided with a special aperture that allows you to connect the charging hose to the outlet valve, without having to remove the cylinder from its cardboard box.
Even in upside down position, it is possible to mount the hose in such a way that it is easy to open the valve while taking the liquid gas phase.
KryoBox® cylinders are refillable; they can be regenerated and filled again. In that case a yellow label (F-Gas Friend) will be stuck on the cylinder.
GeneralGas KryoBox cylinders are manufactured in compliance with the European T-PED regulation and are refillable an infinite number of times.
The displayed price includes a value of 30,00 euro, corresponding to the security deposit of the empty container; this security deposit constitutes a binding modality for the return of the container for refilling purposes, as provided for by Article 11 paragraph 4 of the new Reg. (EU) Fgas 2024/573.
GeneralGas also provides an effective refill service for the empty container and subsequent return to the customer (HandyGas service), carried out at the GeneralGas plant in Cernusco sul Naviglio (MI).
Thanks to our exclusive HandyGas Refill and Redelivery service, if you return the empty KryoBox container you will be entitled to receive a new KryoBox cylinder for the price of the refill only (you will therefore only pay the value of the refrigerant gas).
Note: the cost of shipping the empty container from the customer's warehouse to the GeneralGas plant in Cernusco sul Naviglio is borne by the customer.
