Generalization
of the new refrigerating gases to protect the ozone layer
What a pleasure to have freshness and cold under the sun of our parts of the world !
Whether it be a refrigerator, a freezer, air-conditioning, heating and ventilation for cars or a cold chamber, all such related equipments contain a refrigerating gas often called freon (R502, R22, R12). The currently-used gases have, by virtue of their chemical composition, been proved to deplete the ozone layer which protects the earth from ultraviolet rays. They therefore are responsible for global warming.

Whether it be a refrigerator, a freezer, air-conditioning, heating and ventilation for cars or a cold chamber, all such related equipments contain a refrigerating gas often called freon (R502, R22, R12). The currently-used gases have, by virtue of their chemical composition, been proved to deplete the ozone layer which protects the earth from ultraviolet rays. They therefore are responsible for global warming.
Many countries, including Gabon, are signatories of the Montreal protocol calling for countries to discontinue their consumption of freon in the short or medium term.
To replace those harmful gases, producers have developed lines of substitution products.
SOGAFRIC SERVICES, together with the MBOLO supermarket of Libreville, had been in the vanguard by anticipating, as early as 1996, the ban on refrigerating gas R502. Both partners had pioneered the conversion of refrigerated glass cases to one of the latest substitution gases developed by Elf Atochem, namely FX10. This work's site, exemplary in many respects, had, for that matter, been visited by the local representatives and international partners of Gabon's Ozone Committee.
Concerned about preserving our quality of life, SOGAFRIC SERVICES has been mobilized for several years with the main goal of providing its customers with new-generation equipment operated with environmentally-friendly substitution refrigerating gases.

The
Manager of SOGAFRIC SERVICES, Chairman of the Ozone Committee
As part of the international policy aiming at the protection of the ozone layer, the Gabonese institutions have been enhanced by the establishment of an Ozone focal point in Gabon and a National Ozone Group or Ozone Committee. The manager of SOGAFRIC SERVICES was appointed in 1996 to assume the chairmanship thereof.
