The EU Directive 2006/40/EC on emissions from air conditioning systems in motor vehicles has been prohibiting the use of refrigerants with a global warming potential of over 150 in new passenger and light commercial vehicles since January 1, 2017.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm;margin-right:0cm;">EGELHOF has been developing expansion valves for automotive A/C systems with refrigerants and GWP less than 150 since the late 1990s.</p> <p style="margin-left:0cm;margin-right:0cm;">This affects both the development with the most environmentally friendly refrigerant R744 (CO2), GWP = 1, as well as the current conversion of automotive air conditioning systems to refrigerant R1234yf with a GWP = 4, for example.</p> </div> <div class='col col-12 col-md-3 col-xs-12 col-sm-12 col-lg-3 item' style='padding: 0;'><br><a data-lightbox='photos' href='/site/assets/files/1129/kaltemittelflasche.1000x0.jpg' data-title=''><img class='img-fluid' src='/site/assets/files/1129/kaltemittelflasche.500x0.jpg' style='margin: 0px 10px 30px 10px;width: 95%;'></a><small><i class='fa fa-search-plus' aria-hidden='true'></i> click to enlarge image</small></div> </div> </div> </div> </main> </div> </div> </div> <!-- footer --> <div class="footer-clean" style="background-color: rgb(231,234,236);padding: 50px 0 0 0;"> <footer> <div class="container"> <div class="row justify-content-center"> <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-3 item"> <h3>Products & Services</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/air-conditioning/">Automotive</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/domestic-technology/">Domestic</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/development-innovation/">Development & Innovation</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-3 item"> <h3>About EGELHOF</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/about-egelhof/egelhof-international/">EGELHOF International</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/about-egelhof/our-customers-egelhof/">Our Customers & EGELHOF</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/about-egelhof/history/">History</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-3 item"> <h3>Career & Responsibility</h3> <ul> <li> <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/career/">Career</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/about-egelhof/compliance-integrity/">Compliance & Integrity</a> </li> <li> <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/about-egelhof/environment/">Environment</a> & <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/about-egelhof/quality/">Quality</a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="col-sm-4 col-md-3 item"> <h3>Contact</h3> <ul> <li><a href="tel:+49 711 57547-0"><i class="fa fa-phone" style="margin: 0 20px 0 0;color: rgb(0,86,164);"></i>+49 711 57547-0 </a></li> <li><a href="mailto:info@egelhof.com"><i class="fa fa-envelope" style="margin: 0 19px 0 0;color: rgb(0,86,164);"></i>info@egelhof.com </a></li> <li><i class="fa fa-map-pin" style="margin: 0 25px 0 0;color: rgb(0,86,164);"></i><a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/locations-contact/">Locations & Contact</a> </li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </footer> </div> <div style="background-color: rgb(231,234,236);padding: 30px;"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-md-12"> <hr> <p class="copyright" style="text-align: center;margin: 0;padding: 10px;font-color: #fff;font-size: 0.8em;"> <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/site-map/">Site Map</a> | <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/legal/photo-credits/">Photo Credits</a> | <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/legal/general-terms-conditions/">General Terms & Conditions</a> | <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/legal/privacy/">Privacy</a> | <a href="https://www.egelhof.com/en/legal/imprint/">Imprint</a> </p> <p class="copyright" style="text-align: center;margin: 0;padding: 10px;font-color: #fff;font-size: 0.8em;"> EGELHOF 漏 2024</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <script src="/site/templates/assets/js/jquery.min.js"></script> <script src="/site/templates/assets/js/popper.min.js"></script> <script src="/site/templates/assets/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <script src="/site/templates/assets/js/lightbox.js"></script> <script src="/site/templates/assets/js/swiper.min.js"></script> <script src="/site/templates/assets/js/slider.js"></script> <script> lightbox.option({ 'resizeDuration': 200, 'wrapAround': true, 'showImageNumberLabel': false, 'albumLabel': '%1 / %2', }); </script> </body> </html>
