New commercial refrigeration systems shall comply with the provisions ofthis section when installed in retail food stores 8,000 square feet or more conditioned area, and that utilize either refrigerateddisplay cases, or walk-in coolers or freezers connected to remote compressor units or condensing units. The leak reductionmeasures apply to refrigeration systems containing high-global-warming potential (high-GWP) refrigerants with a GWP of 150 orgreater. New refrigeration systems include both new facilities and replacement of existing refrigeration systems in existingfacilities.Exception: Refrigeration systems containing low-global warming potential (low-GWP) refrigerant with a GWP value less than 150 are not subject to this section. Low-GWP refrigerants are non-ozone- depleting refrigerants that include ammonia, carbon dioxide (CO2), and potentially other refrigerants.5.508.2.1 Refrigerant piping.
