EU F-Gas Regulation: Dantherm Group dehumidifiers now meet all requirements.

The updated EU F-Gas Regulation (EU) 2024/573 accelerates the phase-out of high GWP refrigerants such as R407C. To ensure long-term compliance and serviceability, the Dantherm Group has converted central dehumidifier series to R454C – with over 90% lower GWP and reliable, powerful performance.

What does the regulation mean?

The new regulations introduce strict GWP limits and significant reductions in HFC quotas:

This makes long-term service and future-proofing a crucial factor in equipment selection.

R454C offers:

• GWP 148 (compared to 1,774 for R407C)
• No ozone depletion potential (ODP)
• High performance in typical dehumidification applications
• A2L classification – ATEX zone only required during filling/emptying, not in daily operation

Dantherm dehumidifiers already converted to R454C

The following product families are already fully compliant:

What should you do now?

• Update refrigerant inventories and service processes
• Inform customers about the benefits of compliance
• Specify R454C-based equipment to ensure long-term regulatory security
• Prepare for the gradual introduction of natural refrigerants by 2032 and beyond
