Why R-123:
0.0% Leak-Tight Warranty
“Provide as part of the chiller scope a leak-tight refrigerant warranty for a period of 60 months from initial start-up or 66 months from date of shipment, whichever is less. During this period, manufacturer shall furnish replacement refrigerant in excess of 0.0% which is lost due to a leak in the machine. Once a leak is determined, action must be taken by others to eliminate the source of the leak. Replacement parts and labor are not covered under this warranty. If the chiller is placed under a comprehensive service and maintenance agreement from the original equipment manufacturer prior to the expiration of the standard leak-tight warranty, the leak-tight warranty shall remain in effect for the life of the chiller at no additional cost, as long as an active service and maintenance agreement remains in place without interruption.”
