Domestic Refrigeration Projects
(i) Conversion to HFC-134a rotary compressor designs at Shanghai Refrigerator Compressor Co. Ltd.
(ii) Conversion to HFC-134a refrigerant with rotary compressors at Shanghai Shangling General Refrigerator Factory;
(iii) Conversion to HFC-134a refrigerant with Tecumseh designed HFC-134a compressors at Hua Yi Electrical Appliance General Co.;
(iv) Conversion to a ternary blend refrigerant (MP-39) using conventional compressors at Shanghai Shanglu Electrical Appliances Co. Ltd.;
(v) Conversion to Use of HFC-152a refrigerant using conventional compressors at Wanbao Electric Appliance Industrial Corp.;
(vi) Conversion to HFC-152a/HCFC-22 blended refrigerant in conventional compressors at Chang Ling (Group) Co. Ltd.;
110. The Executive Committee gave the World Bank permission to proceed on the projects listed in sub-paragraphs (i) to (vi) above on the understanding that the following recommendations by the Fund Secretariat would be addressed:
(a) the projects would form the basis of a sectoral strategy to phase out CFCs in some 86 related enterprises/lines in China. The strategy should include phase‑out of CFCs in insulating foam.
(b) testing of appliances must be rationalized. Either the testing equipment requested in those projects should be used for other enterprises or centralized centres should be established within four to five existing R&D institutes.
(c) incremental operating costs of the six projects should be accurately estimated.
