So I have a customer with an old Fujitsu twin split, R22.
He wants me to rip it out and re-install in the same building...but, its my understanding that "Removing CFCs to repair or alter a refrigerator and or air conditioning plant, and then refilling with the same CFCs, would not be compliant with Regulation EC2037/00. This is because Article 4(1) bans the use of CFCs, and use is defined as "...the utilisation of controlled substances in the production or maintenance, in particular refilling, of products or equipment or in other processes...". Article 2 of EC2037/00 particularly refers to 'refilling' and since the refrigerator and or air conditioning unit is being 'refilled' this would constitute 'use' and is banned”.
Is this the case?
