Groll Update on Refrigerants: Past, Present and Future In the recent decades, the refrigeration and air conditioning sciences have been in a state of flux primarily because of the phase-out of ‘ozone-depleting CFC and HCFC refrigerants, and secondarily because of environmental concems related to the direct global warming impacts of some of the replacement reffigerants. Due to these concerns, there is significant worldwide interest in using substances that are naturally occurring in the biosphere as refrigerants, which are considered benign to the environment and are termed “natural working fluids”. Surprisingly, many of these substances were already used as refrigerants at the dawn of the refrigeration technology in the late 1800's. Thus, when looking at the refrigerants of the future, it is essential to understand which substances have been Used in past. This presentation provides a detailed review of the past and present refrigerants, and proposes refrigerants and their respective technologies that could be Used in the future. An assessment of their characteristics related to choice of one versus another, and an identification of trends set by these choices will be 12.30pm to 2.00pm Lunch 2.00pm to 3.00pm Ir. Chen Thiam Leong Title of paper: Flammable Refrigerants & Refrigerants Beyond The first generation of refrigerants was all about accepting anything that worked, heralding the era’ of Natural reffigerants. The second generation addressed concerns on safety (flammability), toxicity & durability, and saw the emergence of the Synthetic era. The third generation refrigerants: sought to protect our ozone layer, resulting in the demise of CFCs followed by HCFCs. Today's fourth generation seeks to arrest global warming, and inevitably completing the circle back to the first generation refrigerants, So what's next after the latest emerging HFOs and Naturals? Are we ready and prepared to move past the era of Synthetics and Naturals to a future of Non Rs?3.00pm to 3.30pm PROGRAMME SCHEDULE Aminah binti Ali The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol: HFC Phase- down ASHRAE ) Malaysia Chapte ‘The Kigali Amendment is an amendment to the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer adopted by the 26th Meeting of Parties to the Montreal Protocol on 15 October 2016 in Kigali, Rwanda. The Amendment adds Powerful greenhouse gases hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs) to the list of substances controlled under the Protocol to gradually reduce HFC use by 80-85 per cent by the late 2040s. 3.30pm to 4.00pm Shafizah Jabar Basha Regulations on Refrigerant Management : Updates and initiatives Tn line with the requirements under Environmental Quality (Refrigerant Management) Regulations 1999, Malaysia has conducted the Refrigerant Service Sector (RSS) Training for Technician since 2007. Initially, the trainings were conducted by 29 ‘Authorized Training Centre (ATC) throughout the country. The ATCs were identified by the Department of Environment (DOE) through the cooperation mainly from the Government sector which were The Manpower Department, The Ministry of Youth and Sports and The Ministry of Rural and Regional Development and the private sector particularly the workshops. Under HCFC Phase-out Management Plan (HPMP), the programme continues covering both’ the refrigeration and air conditioning sector (RACs). To date there are 51 ATCs throughout the country. The objectives of the training are to educate and to carty out good practices in handling ODS besides certifying qualified and competent technicians. The Government has taken initiative by upgrading the system via online (e-CSTP) to enhance its pplication and accessibility to all related sectors. 4.00pm to 4.15pm Tea break 4.15pm to 5.00pm Dr Chin Wai Meng Introduction to HFC 32 refrigerant To overcome two main environment issues faced by the world, i.e. ozone layer depletion and global warming, the harmful chioro-flouro carbon (CFC) and hydro-chloro-flouro carbon (HCFC) refrigerants widely used in the air-conditioning industry must be replaced with new altematives which are less harmful to the environment. Such refrigerants must have zero ODP (Ozone Depletion Potential) and low GWP (Global Warming Potential) while maintaining high system energy efficiency and which are safe to use. One such candidate is the hydro-flouro carbon (HFC) R32 refrigerant which has zero ODP and low GWP of 675 (modified 473). This presentation will give an overview of the thermodynamic and_mild-lammability properties (ASHRAE Class A2L) of this refrigerant. Risk assessment studies of the refrigerant have indicated a very small risk of fre with various types ‘of air-conditioning equipment. Nevertheless, the servicing and maintenance of such equipment requires trained and qualified personnel. 5.00pm to 5.45pm ClosingASHRAE ) Malaysia REGISTRATION FORM ; Chapter 1 Day Seminar Update on Refrigerants: Upcoming Major Impact on the Air-Conditioning Industry 16 March 2016 (Thursday) 8:30am - 6:00pm PULLMAN KUALA LUMPUR BANGSAR NO.1, JALAN PANTAL JAYA, TOWER 3 59200 KUALA LUMPUR ~ MALAYSIA REGISTRATION FE RM4oo ~ MACRA and MASHRAE members (all fees are before G 500 — IEM, ACEM, MGBC members RM550 ~ PUBLIC Sortie.
