The best way to avoid that scenario is to have shed milk cooling systems regularly assessed and maintained. At the point when an assessment indicates that replacement is likely to be necessary in the near future, he urges farmers to be proactive on replacement. Farm Source can point dairy farmers in the right direction. Paul says there are some great modern refrigeration options available for dairy sheds, designed speci cally for New Zealand farms. “There are a number of things farmers can think about when it comes to assessing a replacement system. With lower emissions gases now starting to become available in new milk refrigeration systems, farmers do need to be asking questions about what gas type it uses and if they’ll be able to access these gases in the future. “They also need to assess the overall ef ciency of the system and consider full life cycle economics – that is, how much energy will it use and how long it will last.” “The choice of the right solution can start with a dedicated professional team giving a free milk cooling assessment – the opportunity exists to save money and the environment.” Save money and environment THE NZ GOVERNMENT HAS INITIATED PLANS TO MEET THE ZERO CARBON ACT AND FARMS AGRICULTURAL EMISSIONS WILL ATTRACT ZERO CARBON FOOTPRINT LEVY’S NEW ZEALAND’S REFRIGERANT COMMITMENTS UNDER THE KILGALI AGREEMENT OF 2016 AND THE PARIS AGREEMENT OF 2015 , NZ WILL NEED TO PHASE OUT THE USE OF THE HIGH GWP REFRIGERANTS. (GLOBAL WARMING POTENTIAL = GWP) Fonterra is backing the proposed ZERO CARBON BILL and support the establishment of the commission , the development of a na�onal adapta�on plan and also support the split gas approach recognising the differences between short-lived and long-lived gases. Carolyn Mortland Director, Global Sustainability for Fonterra. GWP- it is desirable to use refrigerants with a GWP less than 1000. Size – reducing charge size is desirable to reduce refrigerants and cost. R32 - GWP675, charge size is quarter of HFC R404a GWP3922 as example.(R32 Class 2L under refrigerant standards ISO/FDIS 817 and ASHRAE 34). ICE CYCLE Range of Chiller and Heat Pumps have been commi�ed to R32 for over two years and are well tested on farm. ICE CYCLE standard R32 charges FOR COMPARISSION are: Ice Cycle ICE200i 3.1kg r32/Ice Cycle ICE400i 3.7kg r32/Ice Cycle ICE600i 4.25kg r32/Ice Cycle ICE800i 6.5kg r32 Why is this important: 1/ R32 purchasing cost is affordable ongoing and not subject to heavy GWP taxing Levy’s an example is R404a with a current cost of approximately $7000.00 a bo�le. 2/ R32 only requires a Small charge which means less cost if a leak occurs as opposed to R404a which requires a charge 4 �mes greater. 3/ R32 is Environmentally Sustainable and is below the F Gas regula�on limit of 750. 4/ R32 has Low GWP675 as opposed to R404a at GWP3922. 5/ R32 contributes to Carbon Credits by having a low GWP and F gas conformity. 6/ R32 is Well proven worldwide and is widely used Globally in the Air Condi�oning Industry. 7/ R32 Contains Flame Retardants and is rated Class 2L. 8/ R32 Herme�cally sealed compressors, have less leak poten�al.
