Save The Earth: Acson AC Refrigerant Recovery Program
In our rapidly changing world, the urgency to address climate change has never been more pressing. One of the crucial yet often overlooked aspects of this global challenge is the recovery of refrigerants. These substances, used in air conditioning, refrigeration, and other cooling systems, have significant implications for both the environment and future generations. By focusing on refrigerant recovery, we can make a substantial impact on preserving the planet.
Understanding Refrigerants and Their Environmental Impact
Refrigerants are chemicals used in our air conditions that acts to absorb and release heat, thereby providing us cool air. Older air conditioning systems are prone to refrigerant leaks due to the aging of components. Over time, the seals in the system can deteriorate, leading to leaks. Hence, refrigerant leakages have been found to contribute to global warming.
How Refrigerant Recovery Works
As part of our commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility, Acson plays a key role in refrigerant recovery, helping to safeguard the environment and minimize our carbon footprint.
Refrigerant recovery involves several key steps:
1. Recovery and Storage: We recover your old refrigerant for you from any unit and any brand. Specialized equipment is used to safely extract refrigerants from cooling systems. The recovered refrigerants are then stored in secure containers for recycling or disposal.
2. Reclamation: During the reclamation process, the refrigerants will be treated, so that they work just like new refrigerants. Additionally, these reclaimed refrigerants reduce the need to produce new refrigerants.
3. Reuse: The reclaimed refrigerant meets AHRI 700 certification standards for purity and quality, making it suitable for reuse.
The impact of refrigerant recovery extends far beyond immediate environmental benefits. By committing to effective recovery practices today, we are safeguarding the health of our planet and ensuring a better quality of life for future generations. As we navigate the challenges of climate change and environmental degradation, refrigerant recovery stands as a vital component of our collective efforts to create a sustainable and resilient world.
