RSES has released to the public eight technical bulletins and feature articles on the phaseout of R-22 refrigerant originally available only to RSES members.

“While RSES has been preparing its members for the Jan. 1, 2010, phaseout deadline for using R-22 in the manufacturing of new equipment for over eight years, RSES wants the entire HVACR industry to be fully educated on the alternative and replacement refrigerants that have already entered the marketplace and is taking this opportunity to share valuable content with the public,” RSES Director of Training and Testing Renee Tomlinson said.
