Hefei General Machinery Research Institute, China General Machinery Industry Association, China General Machinery Industry Association Compressor Sub-Association, Chinese Society For Environmental Sciences and leading media were invited to witness. As the leading supplier of compressed air and air treatment solutions, Atlas Copco is the first to initiate this promise in the compressor industry.

 

　　R22 refrigerants is a halocarbon compound with industrial and commercial applications, including refrigeration dryers. Freon contained in R22 is the main reason to cause depletion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere. From 1987, many countries gradually joined to sign Montreal Protocol and promised to stop using Freon as refrigerants.  Now the European union           and the United States and other developed countries have a total ban on using R22. China also began to eliminate R22 refrigerant from 2015.

 

　　Committed to sustainable productivity, Atlas Copco provides a variety of refrigerant dryers with substitute refrigerants including F, FX, FD and FF full-feature integrated refrigerant dryers. These dryers have been using environmentally friendly refrigerant like R410a, R134a, R404a and R407c with zero Ozone depletion long before the launch of relevant regulation.

 

　　Atlas Copco has produced and sold more than 45,000 non-R22 refrigerant dryers in China, and maintained a steady increase every year. This is fully demonstrating the company’s dedication and commitment in environment protection.

 

　　“Being responsible for our customers and the environment, a decade before the announcements of relevant laws and regulations, Atlas Copco had already replaced R22 with environment-friendly refrigerant for all our dryer products. This is to protect the investment of our customers, as well as to protect the environment,” said by Dirk Beyts, General Manager of Atlas Copco Compressor Technique China Customer Center, “Our priority is not only to provide reliable, efficient and high quality products to customers, but also bring positive impact to the environment. I am very glad today that our dealers made this promise together with us to sell only environment friendly dryers.”

 

　　The design of refrigerant dryer of Atlas Copco is simple and reliable and provide absolutely dry air to meet the requirements of best air quality for compressed air application. Efficient cooling system ensures lower energy costs and smaller low carbon space.
