The various steps necessary in order to develop a strategic plan to slowly and cost-effectively move away from using CFCs in these chillers is described in this manual. It also provides basic information on ozone depletion, and how refrigerants contribute to this phenomenon, it describes what is a refrigerant management plan and its importance in the chiller sector, and defines containment and service practice, including retrofit and replacement.

Bromine is present in the halons controlled by the Montreal Protocol. The presence of bromine in the halon molecule enhances fire fighting effectiveness. Unfortunately, bromine radicals are also strong ozone-depleting agents. For the past 30 years, halons have been widely used in fire fighting equipment, and have been released into the atmosphere.
