AHRI guideline makes new recommendations for recycling refrigerant containers
The Air-Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute (AHRI) published updates to Guideline Q, Content Recovery and Proper Recycling of Refrigerant Cylinders. The guideline now includes best practices for end-of-life recycling of flammable refrigerant containers.
"This guideline and the new additions are a critical part of the industry's plan for the future of refrigerants," said AHRI President and CEO Stephen Yurek. "As flammable refrigerants are being introduced as low-global warming potential alternatives to refrigerants currently in use, it is critical that industry not only handle these refrigerants safely, but also recycle the containers properly."
