Heuch Refrigeration

A common cause of premature compressor failure is excessive migration of refrigerant vapor to the crankcase of the compressor during the off cycle. When this happens, refrigerant vapor can condense back into a liquid, mix with the oil, and dilute its lubricating properties. On start-up, the oil/liquid refrigerant mixture is then used to lubricate the bearing surfaces within the compressor. This mixture — being a poor lubricant — causes wearing of the bearing surfaces within the compressor.

We would like to wish you a safe and happy festive season from the entire team at Heuch!

In this edition of our monthly newsletter, we share some huge savings potential for your refrigeration service, delve into how refrigerant phase outs affect you and discuss if solar can actually benefit your business. 

You may have been reading over the last few weeks regarding the amendment to the Montreal Protocol and the environmental benefits this has for the earth moving forward. 

We have definitely been tuned to staying abreast of the news that has come out of Rwanda and how the market has been reacting. Here at Heuch, we believe that the reduction in use of the hydroflurocarbons (HFC) gases was inevitable. Especially considering that they can be 10,000 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as greenhouse gases.

Nearly 200 nations hammered out a legally binding deal to cut back on greenhouse gases used in refrigerators and air conditioners, a Rwandan minister announced to loud cheers on Saturday, in a major step against climate change. 

The deal, which includes the world's two biggest economies, the United States and China, divides countries into three groups with different deadlines to reduce the use of factory-made hydroflurocarbon (HFC) gases, which can be 10,000 times more powerful than carbon dioxide as greenhouse gases.

By making the announcement, Australia joins Europe, the USA and Japan in taking early action to reduce HFC emissions.
