Hydrocarbons 21 (28/11/2018)

HC charge-limit vote pushed to mid-March

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) will cast its final vote on whether to increase the charge limit for A3 (flammable) refrigerants in mid-March rather than by the end of the year. The charge-limit increase to 500 g from 150 g will apply to hydrocarbons like propane and isobutane in commercial refrigeration equipment under the IEC global standard 60335–2–89. The higher charge would likely widen the use of hydrocarbons as natural refrigerants worldwide.

HC charge limit increase to go to final IEC vote

In a move that could widen the use of hydrocarbons as natural refrigerants worldwide, a crucial subcommittee of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) last week approved advancing to the decisive next stage in a standards process that could increase the charge limit on A3 (flammable) refrigerants like propane in commercial refrigeration equipment from 150g to 500g under the standard 60335-2-89.

One step closer…

National committees on the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) have agreed by a 75% ‘yes’ vote to increase the charge limit of A3 (flammable) refrigerants in commercial refrigeration equipment to 500g from 150g, setting the stage for a potential final vote on the IEC 60335-2-89 charge standard by the end of 2018.

IEC’s Draft Proposal Increases Charge Limit For Flammable Refrigerants

In May, the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) released its draft proposal to raise the maximum charge size for flammable refrigerants in commercial self-contained cases from 150 grams to 500 grams.

… According to Marek Zgliczynski, chairman of the IEC subcommittee responsible for developing the proposal, this standard -- known as IEC60335-2-89 – “is the basis for all regional and national product standards for household or similar commercial-type applications.” The proposed change will “increase the maximum allowable charge of flammable refrigerants in [commercial self-contained display cases], while maintaining the same safety level of the present standard with 150 grams,” he explained.
