NC-2009 EAp3:Fundamental Refrigerant Management

Commercial Kitchen Equipment

We are working on a full service hotel project. For the commercial kitchen, it is my understanding that the permanent walk-in cooler and freezer units should be included in the credit. What about the non-permanent equipment that is essentially FF&E and we would move with us if we sold the property? Examples would be pizza prep table refrigerators, sandwich unit refrigerators, reach-in refrigerators--all on wheels/moveable. All the items meet the prereq requirements, just looking for guidance if they should be included in the documentation.

Angie, do you have information about the refrigerant charge in these pieces of equipment? I would let the 0.5 pound rule guide you about whether to document each type of equipment.

Nearly all exceed the 0.5 lb rule. How would you categorize the equipment type? Our engineer said to use "other."

I would also use "other."
