Conclusions

Certification to have reliable Product Performance Data

Proper Dimensioning

Predictable Energy Consumption

Certification in 2016

108 products certified

Total number of ~800 certified products

Refrigerant Trends

Last R404A products certified in 2014

Lots of alternative refrigerants present in the certification over the last 2 years

Most alternatives lead to a reduction in application limits and cooling capacity
