Refrigerant Gases

Refrigeration has steadily become a part of everyday life; our food is chilled, frozen, stored, transported and displayed in refrigerated units using refrigerant gas. Refrigeration is a key component of many industrial processes such as pharmaceutical, chemical, and natural gas production. Even our cars, offices, shops and public buildings are kept cool by air-conditioning.

	Overview Overview to BOC Refrigerants: Refrigeration has steadily become a part of everyday life; our food is chilled, frozen, stored, transported and displayed in refrigerated units using refrigerant gas.		Complete Range  All refrigerants are pre-fixed with an 'R' number - this denotes an industry standard specification. The exceptions are when the refrigerants are new an 'R' number has been applied for and not yet granted.
	Air Conditioning in Cars Information relating to Air Conditioning in Cars: For many years R134a has been the leading refrigerants used within mobile air conditioning systems		HCFCs (2010 Phase Out) Virgin HCFCs including R22 will be banned from use from January 1st 2010
	HFCs Including the widest range of HCFC alternatives from Arkema , Dupont and  Refrigerant Solutions		Natural Refrigerants BOC is the UK's leading supplier of natural refrigerants to the refrigeration and air conditioning industry
	Leak Detection Article three of the EC Regulation 842/ 2006  requires the operator to prevent leakage of fluorinated gases		Recovery Cylinders Recovery cylinders for when the refrigerant from a system is no longer required
