As a result, Chemours has phased out production of CFCs and introduced environmentally acceptable Uses alternatives, such as hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) 123. Freon™ 123 is a viable replacement for CFC-11 as a refrigerant and heat-transfer fluid.

Because Chemours does not sell Freon™ 123 for use as blowing the chlorine is dissipated at lower altitudes, HCFCs have agents for polymer foams or aerosol propellants.

If you can’t find it in the Manufacturers Alphabetic Listings, then one of several things may have happened. The company could have dropped out of the hvacr industry — ceased to operate altogether, or just stopped making hvacr products; or the company may have changed owners and it is now a part of another corpo- rate identity. In either case, this listing may help. Following are the names of hundreds of manufacturers and their brand names that were found in previous editions of the Directory Issue. Many of these companies continue to exist, but are now known under different names. To find the new identity, just look up the old name in this alphabetic listing. If no information is available, we simply provide the last year the company was listed in the Directory Issue. This listing represents our best efforts at tracking the manufacturer-members of the hvacr community. If we have erred or provided incomplete information, we apologize and hope that you will set us straight. Contact The News Editorial Department at P.O. Box 2600, Troy, Mich. 48007.

OCCUPATIONAL EXPOSURE TO DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS of FLUOROCARBON POLYMERS U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND WELFARE Public Health Service Center for Disease Control National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health September 1977 For sale by the Superintendent of Documents, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402 DHEW (NIOSH) Publication No. 77-193 PREFACE The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 emphasizes the need for standards to protect the health and safety of workers exposed to an ever-increasing number of potential hazards at their workplace. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health has projected a formal system of research, with priorities determined on the basis of specified indices, to provide relevant data from which valid criteria for effective standards can be derived. Recommended standards for occupational exposure, which are the result of this work, are based on the health effects of exposure. The Secretary of Labor will weigh these recommendations along with other considerations such as feasibility and means of implementation in developing regulatory standards. It is intended to present successive reports as research and epidemiologic studies are completed and as sampling and analytical methods are developed. Criteria and standards will be reviewed periodically to ensure continuing protection of the worker. I am pleased to acknowledge the contributions to this report on the decomposition products of fluorocarbon polymers by members of the NIOSH staff and the valuable constructive comments by the Review Consultants on the Decomposition Products of Fluorocarbon Polymers and by Robert B.

    The EPA Administrator, Gina McCarthy, signed the following proposed rule on October 15, 2015, and EPA is submitting it for publication in the Federal Register (FR). While we have taken steps to ensure the accuracy of this Internet version of the rule, it is not the official version of the rule for purposes of public comment. Please refer to the official version in a forthcoming FR publication, which will appear on the Government Printing Office's FDsys website (http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/search/home.action) and on Regulations.gov (http://www.regulations.gov) in Docket No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2015-0453. Once the official version of this document is published in the FR, this version will be removed from the Internet and replaced with a link to the official version. This document is a prepublication version, signed by the EPA Administrator, Gina McCarthy, on October 15, 2015.

ACTION: Proposed rule. SUMMARY: The Clean Air Act prohibits the knowing release of ozone-depleting and substitute refrigerants during the course of maintaining, servicing, repairing, or disposing of appliances or industrial process refrigeration. The existing regulations require that persons servicing or disposing of air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment observe certain service practices that reduce emissions of ozone-depleting refrigerant.

    Geyser C-Series 2019 The Nyle Systems Geyser C-Series product line is a High Efficiency Air-to-Water or Water-to Water Heat Pump Water Heating System. Heat Pump Water Heaters provide the most efficient way to heat water , drawing energy from the ambient air or available source water and thereby saving up to 75% in costs when compared to electric water heaters. Upon using the air source models, air surrounding the C-Series is cooled and dehumidified, which can be ducted to an alternate location, while heating potable water. In utilizing the water source models, we are cooling source water on one side while heating potable water on the other. We are reducing air conditioning load as well as reducing heating costs.
