Reclamed Refrigerant
Reclaimed Refrigerant (R410a & R134a)
Refrigerant is generally used as a working fluid for Air Conditioners, however, when released to the atmosphere, it will impact the earth through ozone depletion and global warming. The Montreal and Kyoto Protocols called for countries all around the world to come together to protect the environment and cease using of harmful refrigerants.
Daikin Singapore advocates Eco-friendly and Zero waste, promoting Recovery, Reclaim and Reuse of refrigerants is one of our Sustainable Green initiatives. Hence, we are phasing in the usage of reclaimed refrigerant for our customer.
Reclaimed Refrigerant went through a much more thorough and intensive filtration process that removes many more impurities from the used refrigerant, which can allow it to be reusable and sustainable. Refrigerant reclamation can restore the purity level of the recovered refrigerant to meet the international standards level (AHRI Standard 700). Our AHRI 700 Standard Refrigerant is reclaimed and manufactured in Singapore and is approved and licensed by National Environment Agency (NEA).
Reclaimed Refrigerant Benefits
- No release of ozone depleting and global warming gases
- No need to produce new refrigerants
- Optimal equipment operation and energy efficiency
- Prolong equipment lifespan

FAQ
- Q: What are Reclaimed Refrigerants?
- A: They are used refrigerants cleaned by means of filtration, distillation, separation or other mechanical processes. As a result, our finished product meets the same standards as newly produced refrigerant.
- Q: Does “Reclaimed Refrigerants” considered as green product?
- A: Yes, refrigerant reclamation is a sustainable circle of recycling used refrigerant from the end of life refrigeration equipment. It provides a refrigerant waste management solution to our environment which reduce tremendous amount of the GWP and ODP resulted by refrigerant gas venting issue. In additional, the use of reclaimed refrigerant will also help to minimize the unnecessary production of new refrigerant (Hazardous Substances) to meet the market demand.
- Q: What is the difference between reclaimed refrigerant and new refrigerant?
- A: Both reclaimed refrigerant and new refrigerant must conform to the standard of AHRI-700 therefore, there is virtually no difference. In fact, reclaimed refrigerants can perform better than new refrigerant due to the extensive stringent quality control methods and procedures that enables the reclaimed refrigerant to exceed the standard of AHRI-700.
- Q: Will the reclaimed refrigerant damage my equipment?
- A: Reclaimed refrigerant that meet or exceed AHRI-700 standard will not cause any damage to your equipment. Reclaimed refrigerant is unlike recycled refrigerant. Recycling process is to simply remove and reduce contaminants, while reclamation process is to process the refrigerant to meet or exceed the standard of AHRI-700 standard (International Virgin Refrigerant Standard)
- Q: Can I purchase reclaimed refrigerants from Daikin?
