Change of refrigerant
From 1 January 2020, a ban on the use of R404A refrigerant in the production of refrigeration equipment will enter into force in the European Union. This is
a factor with a high global warming factor: GWP = 3922.
The GWP coefficient determines the extent to which a given substance affects the greenhouse effect compared to carbon dioxide (CO2).
As a manufacturer of refrigeration equipment, Juka is obliged to sell refrigerant filled equipment with a GWP ≤ 2500. R404A has been discontinued and replaced with R452a. R452a refrigerant has been adopted as the production standard and can be used until December 31, 2021.
For most devices we already use the ecological factor R-290 (GWP = 3); more models are being modernized. Our goal is to implement as soon as possible the sale of the maximum amount of products that will not have a negative impact on the environment.
