Source Reduction:: S04: Substituted manufacturing aid, processing aid, or other ancillary chemical[-50-99%]
|
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T04: Participative team management
Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T10: Vendor assistance Methods to Identify SR Opportunities: T11: Other |
S04: Beginning in 2020, we switched from R123 to R514A as the primary refrigerant. The phase out of R123 is slow and may never fully eliminate it from use, but this substitution has resulted in source reduction at the site. Source Reduction - Various functions determine what type of refrigerant we can switch to and the timing. Source Reduction - Suppliers provide new refrigerants Source Reduction - Regulatory drivers |

The phase out of R123 is slow and may never fully eliminate it from use, but this substitution has resulted in source reduction at the site. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We recycle the refrigerant used in testing of products. |

W84: We replaced R123 with R514A for the chillers produced and tested in one of the main manufacturing buildings. Source Reduction - Vendor helped to identify new refrigerant that would work in our chillers to replace R123 Source Reduction - Our internal R&D lab and engineers verified that the new refrigerant would work in our chillers. Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We recycle refrigerants in the factory and R&D lab. |

W84: Gradual phase out of R123 has already begun at facility Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - We recycle refrigerant and distill it to reuse many times |
2017 |
Source Reduction:: W13: Improved maintenance scheduling, recordkeeping, or procedures[-50-99%]

W13: Working with production engineers, we recently included better record keeping and engineering judgements about the amount of refrigerant released. Source Reduction - Calculating amount of refrigerant charged, amount remaining in unit, and expected amount of stack emissions was part of the audits performed. Source Reduction - Improved some refrigerant charge stations with more sensors, valving, and digital tracking capabilities. Source Reduction - Cross functional team of engineers, EHS team, production, and operators resulted in many people being involved in this process. |
2015 |
Other Environmental Practices: Recycling - Trane recycles a large portion of R123 refrigerant via on-site reclaim systems which allow for beneficial reuse. |
