| Stock Code GB7A, UNEP 1998 Paperback 78 pages Price USD 75.00 |

Part of a series of publications to help developing country Governments phasing out the use of ozone-depleting substances. It provides guidance to the National Ozone Unit and industry on how to design and implement codes of good practice for the refrigeration-services sector and explains the roles of the relevant stakeholders. Good servicing practices prevent unnecessary refrigeration emission through proper design, installation, operation, decommissioning and disposal of refrigeration systems as well as the application of recovery & recycling, retrofitting, safe handling, transport and storage of refrigerants. Codes of good practice are an important part of the regulatory framework and support all other phaseout efforts for ozone-depleting refrigerants within a country’s Refrigerant Management Plan. Codes of good practice may be mandatory or voluntary and require training and certification of the refrigeration technicians. |

All have been tried and tested in the field, even if some of the alternative technologies are best described as ‘still experimental'. The authors supply contact names and addresses of agencies and individuals who are willing to discuss a range of technologies and traditions, many of which were abandoned more than 50 years ago in favour of highly engineered sources. Their practical experience demonstrates once again that old is not always worse. |
