Reclaimed refrigerant now also in selected Daikin chillers

Press Release, February 2022

Daikin Applied Europe (Italy) joined the L∞p by Daikin circular economy program and claims to be using up to 400,000 kg of reclaimed refrigerant R134a and R410A per year at its heat pump and chiller plant in Cecchina near Rome.

Vienna, February 2022 – The L∞p by Daikin circular economy program was first launched by Daikin Europe in 2019 with the use of reclaimed R410A for the VRV series produced and sold in Europe. Now the scheme has been adopted for R134a, the reclaimed gas being recovered and reclaimed in line with the international standard AHRI700 to better than 99.5% purity.

Thereby the program ensures the continued availability of R134a and avoids its environmentally and financially costly end-of-life destruction. Furthermore, as reclaimed refrigerant it is not included in the European F-gas quota system.
