Important
Environmental Concerns!
Scientific research has shown that
certain man-made chemicals
affect the earth's naturally occurring
stratospheric ozone
released to the atmosphere.
particular, several of the identified
chemicals that may affect the ozone
layer are refrigerants
Chlorine, Fluorine and Carbon (CFCs)
and those containing
Chlorine, Fluorine and
(HCFCs). Not all refrigerants containing
these compounds have the same
potential impact to the environment.
Trane advocates the
handling of all refrigerants-including
industry replacements for CFCs such
as and HCFCs and HFCs.
Responsible Refrigerant Practices!
Trane believes that
refrigerant practices are
to the environment, our customers,
and the air conditioning industry. All
technicians who handle refrigerants
must be certified. The Federal Clean
Air Act (Section 608) sets forth the
requirements for handling, reclaiming,
recovering and recycling of certain
refrigerants and the equipment that is
used in these service procedures. In
addition, some states or municipalities
may have additional requirements that
must also be adhered to for responsible
management of refrigerants. Know the
