ISCEON® MO49Plus (R437A)

• ISCEON® MO49 (R413A) Production stopped• MO49Plus (R437A) now in use• Main enquiry is regarding top up• DuPont position:

“ DuPont does not recommend the mixing of refrigerants as this can lead to systems with unpredictable performance and any recovered refrigerant would need to be incinerated”

• However, in practice we do not know of any specific performance or safety related issues should the products become mixed.

Retrofit Guidelines forISCEON® MO29

8 Steps from establishing baseline performance with existing refrigerant until labelling system showing the refrigerant (and any replacement

lubricant) used. Update system log-book.

www.isceon.com/eu

20

Before conversion to an ISCEON® 9 Series Refrigerant

• Check current system performance

• Check Capacity Available vs. Capacity Required

• Ensure system is in good working order• Conversion to an ISCEON® refrigerant will not solve existing

problems.

• Check Product Information Bulletin for suitability

• Refer to Retrofit Guidelines

• Have available product pressure/temperature tables

21

During conversion to an ISCEON® 9 Series Refrigerant:Follow the advice given in the product retrofit guidelines

• Majority of problems reported could have been avoided if the guidelines were followed

Follow good refrigeration practice principles• Do not take short cuts

Use pressure-temperature tables for the product being used

• The pressure-temperature relationships are different and it does make a difference

22

Summary of Retrofit Procedures1. Establish Baseline Performance with Existing Refrigerant & repair

if necessary

2. Remove Existing Refrigerant from System

3. Replace Filter Dryer, Elastomeric Seals/Gaskets, & Other Equipment/Components Identified in Preplanning (Ball Valves, Schrader Cores, Magnetic Valves, etc.)

4. Evacuate System and Check for Leaks

5. Charge with ISCEON® MO29 (Remove liquid only from cylinder)

6. Start up System and optimize performance (adjust TXVs, refrigerant charge, etc.)

7. Monitor oil levels to maintain desired level in oil reservoir

8. Label System for ISCEON® MO29

ISCEON ® is a technical sale, not a drop in !

• Revamped retrofit guidelines

• Hints and Advice for technically advanced partners

• Technical Bulletin

• Validation of solutions for more system types : pump systems, chillers, process cooling , on-farmmilk cooling

• Work closer with the Contractors

24

Retrofit Experience using the ISCEON®Solution

Systems under good conditions => No Issues!

BUT:

• Elastomeric seals (like O-Ring, Terminal board as well Ball- / Schradervalves) exchange

• Oil circulation (Level control at compressor sight glass)Systems without oil separator

Chiller with part load

Old compressors with high oil throw

Cooling Capacity should be calculated by using Software DuPrex 3.0!

Milk cooling with ISCEON® MO29

ELAS-partner Werner Bergmann: „The refrigerants experts of DuPont had given us excellent advice in the run-up to the retrofit. Following their suggestion … the mineral oil in the system was replaced by polyolester oil with a similar viscosity. This way we were able to manage the pilot project without disturbing during the daily routine at the farm … The complete retrofit was done smoothly during the milking breaks.”

SPAR (Edeka) Cold Store Ellhofen- Retrofit from R22 to ISCEON® MO29 on March 29, 2006 -

Key Information

• Cold Store Medium Temperature Application with 36.500 m³• Rack with 4 Copeland DWM Compressors from 1991• Reconstruction: 2 additional Copeland Compressors added• Oil type: Shell 22-12 … one oil change• Cold Store with 20 evaporators (20 TXV)• Contractor Company: Carrier Commercial Germany• R22 charge: 1000 kg• MO29 charge: 930 kg

40


Key learning• Retrofit took 2 days (change of filter drier, oil Shell 22-12, refrigerant)

• Cooling capacity was equal R22

• Issues around oil return in the beginning• Shell 22-12 created a layer of 3-4 mm on top of the MO29, seen in the receiver sight glass• oil level in the compressors was in the beginning at min• Significant refrigerant leakages occur due to Compressor-”Klemmbrett”-Sealings• Other Leakages due to leaking magnetic valves and ball valves

Conclusion on R22-Phase outPotential for business interruption, due to refrigeration system stop

Large user of R22-refrigeration and a/c systems need a phase-out strategy

Several solutions are available, Contractor companies need to learn to use it properly

Operator‘s total costs of the retrofit are the decision factor for the choice of the retrofit solution

With regards to running and retroffiting costs, DuPontTM ISCEON®

MO29 (R422D) is the preferred solution for DX- systems

ISCEON® MO29 (R422D) has shown acceptable performance after retrofits in pump circulation systems
